Our state is kind of a mess, wondering what others are experiencing...
 

It's Virginia...ranked close to last in percentage of people vaccinated so far.

No, not scheduled yet. Folks 75+ are being taken care of first. There is a waiting list of 12,000 people signed up at the one pharmacy who can give the vaccine, hoping to get the call to come and get vaccinated. It's going to be a while, I think.
 
Yes, February 16th. Walgreen's is conducting a vaccine clinic via the CDC in my apartment building (55+) for 3 consecutive months. For some unknown reason we are classified as a long-term care facility! I am looking forward to getting it.

Good luck to you and all.
 
I tried again today to register for vaccines. The registration opened at 6 a.m., so I was at the computer at 5:45. Tried to get on at 5:59 but "not ready". At the stroke of 6:00 a.m., I entered the portal and got the message to not leave the page and I would be able to register when there was an opening in the process. I actually had the computer and both cell phones "waiting". And waiting and waiting and waiting. At 7:28 a.m., the screen changed to the "sorry, no more openings" screen. I don't know whether you get "in line" or the program just snatches people out of the ethernet...… There's another go on Friday at 6:00 a.m. I'll be there with bells (and my nightie) on.

Arrrrggggghhhhhh.

Our sh!t-for-brains Governor was on TV this morning crowing about what a great job they're doing getting the vaccine out. Betcha he didn't have to sit by the phone waiting for an opening, hmmmm?
 
My state is doing a fair job. Dis very well so far with health care personnel and bringing it to nursing homes & assisted living, unfortunately after staggering numbersof deaths. My group over 75 being sched now. I have apt for 2/2 at what I hope will be a drive thru at a large Walmart. They opened up a huge arena as a site too but I’m on a walker and do t know how I could have possibly managed the distances involved. My “personal best” lately is going from one side to the other of a big grocery store. Good luck to all!
 
My wife is scheduled for the 15th of Feb and I am scheduled for the 16th.
The website that South Carolina set up was hard to navigate, but we eventually got ours.
 
No.

The county where I live is starting some sort of lottery system tomorrow. People will be able to call in or go online to enter their personal information into a pool that will have names drawn at random as the vaccine becomes available. It sounds like a fail to me.

I'm trying to wait for the day when I can go to my local pharmacy and get a shot.

I'm over 75 but state (Iowa) just opened up to 65 and over. All ages 65 and older will be treated the same. So 90 year old and 65 year old on equal footing on getting the vaccine. I can call Feb 1 and try to get on the list. County by county here. One county getting 700 doses but 11,000 people over 65. Not counting all the others in 1b group(teachers, firemen, police, emt, etc).
