March 2, 20215 yr Geez Talking!! Can’t recall who suggested this, but have you tried logging on really early (like 4am). Sometimes as the open up slots and you’re up at the hour, you could score a time! Good luck. Keep trying. Ugh.

Checked back ever 15min, got in at 6:15. Went thru all the dates and was told they were all booked. Went back to main page to see if it said appointments were full, but it was showing there were still openings. Went back in and lo and behold I got a slot. YEAH !
March 2, 20215 yr The former President and Melania were vaccinated in January before he left office. I wonder why he kept that secret?

A year ago it was frightening. Now it’s like the tsunami has passed and the ocean is calming. Or I’m just falsely optimistic.

March 2, 20215 yr https://6abc.com/health/data-show-philly-suburbs-being-short-changed-on-vaccines/10381423/ Like I said, hopeful these numbers begin to change, soon.
March 2, 20215 yr Almost half of Michigan Republicans don't plan to get COVID-19 vaccine, poll shows https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2021/03/02/covid-19-vaccine-michigan-republicans-poll-trump-biden/6869393002/ Sadly, the idiots are going to drag this pandemic out.
March 2, 20215 yr 6 minutes ago, Gannan said: Walgreens now has appointments available in PA, but only for those 75 or older. Yes we know and my friends mother is over 75. From the article I just posted, this is just laughable: County Montour Population 18,259 Total Doses Delivered By State 44,585 Doses Per 1,000 residents 2,442 Rank 1 Montour County, you've got to be kidding me? You see the problem but what is being done to fix it? "Emails to the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Delaware County Council seeking comment were not answered." "I couldn't even imagine and I wouldn't even guess how potentially this could have an affect on the senior citizens that haven't been able to get a vaccine out because we're not getting our fair share"
March 2, 20215 yr I know it's easier said than done for some people but people need to start looking for appointments in the smaller outlying counties like this. My mother is over 75, blind in one eye and handicapped. She would never be able to log into a site and quickly book an appointment before other people took all the time slots. I got her to create an account on the major pharmacy websites and give me her log ins so I could book one for her. Appointments in this area book really fast because of the population density so I kept moving further away until I got her an appointment at a rite aid in Shippensburg. It's 4 hours round trip to get her there and back but at least she got the vaccine.

Thankfully most of those idiots are probably already immune.
March 2, 20215 yr The med companies have all missed in their estimations of how much they could produce. The supply chains for all of the stuff needed to make the materials seems to be the main culprit. I read that each of the solutions requires 100+ individual ingredients.

Well seeing how there was a census in 2020 you would think the State knows where the population densities are and send them more product. It's absolutely ridiculous -you taking your mother on a 4 hour tour.
March 2, 20215 yr So, my mom texted me yesterday that she was able to get an appt. because her friend told her that a new slate just opened up at 9 AM and she got set up for Thurs. I sent the word to my GF who's also in 1A, and she gets her first shot Fri. I'm patiently waiting my turn for 1B. I just hope I can get it done before our trip to Hawaii in early June.

Well the media is telling us how many millions of doses are being shipped everyday. While I don't doubt your statement is true, then it only compounds that the distribution is totally f'd. I still need to know how Montour county was already alloted more than their total population. Something is really really wrong here.

My 86yr old mother-in-law still hasn't even had a chance to try to schedule a time.

It's very state and even county dependant though. Places like Georgia Texas and DC have been doing pretty poorly overall. PA is pretty middle of the road when it comes to percent vaccinated but best I can tell from reports/anecdotes it varies dramatically county to county. I know pretty healthy non-essential 35 year olds vaccinated easily in downtown Philadelphia through Penn and 60+ year olds with multiple comorbidities struggling to find vaccines in more rural areas.

Far as I can tell the US is way ahead of Europe in any case.
