Anybody scheduled for vaccination yet?

I was going to wait until I can get the "one-dose".
On further deliberation, I think I'll wait until they make it into a GUMMY BEAR.

I can't find it. Was New Mexico left out?

Not sure as I haven't heard from my relatives in Albuquerque @Gaer

If this past Saturday's shopping at HomeGoods and Costco didn't kill me then nothing will so I'll pass on the vaccine. Long lines to get in, and full capacity, no parking spots...is it Christmas again already? But everybody was being good about wearing a mask I have to say. There was often no way to stay 6' apart though.

Do our shopping at Costco M-F during senior hour. One hour before opened to general public. Few people at that time although seeing more people who don't look like they fit the requirements. Pre-existing conditions or over 65. Probably same ones that ignore handicap parking. Get handicap sticker for car because of grandma but use it all the time even tho grandma not there.

Maybe the ones who look like they don't fit have an invisible illness.. Can you tell by looking at someone if they have cancer or a heart condition? I can't.
 
It looked yesterday on our county's website like we'd be able to make an apptmt. to get the vaccine but Huzz decided against it; unfortunately he'd been talking to his cousin who's even more paranoid & even more of a Covid-denier than Huzz is, so Huzz decides naw, we don't need the vax. Then Huzz had apptmts. with 2 diff. doctors yesterday who said "Get the vaccine!" so we get back on the county's site today & no more appointments available. So I don't know when we'll get it.

You are very fortunate @Lara

Our county is not so lucky.145490168_10215096531485998_3208795455743332217_o[1].jpg
 
Well, I've been up two mornings this week to log on exactly at 6 a.m. and try to "get in line" when registration starts at 6. It takes between 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours for the site to change to "all appointments taken". I'm doing this 2-3 times a week, as well as other times. No luck yet. This morning, I was logged in on two laptops and two cellphones and STILL no luck. I'm even trying counties all around....

It took me a long time as well @jujube and I finally got a tad aggressive with a particular place and they changed their tune, so to speak and gave us a slot to go in and receive the vaccine. Keep on trying. Good luck.

Are there any "hubs" or "sub hubs" in your area?
 
We're scheduled for our second Moderna shot on Feb. 17th. Got our first shot at a neighboring county's "sub hub". Nice Texas hill country experience. Grass root folks smiling and jabbing.

We plan on taking macadamia nut triple chocolate chip cookies when we go back...our neighbors and us, that is...lol.
 
I jst happened to catch an announcement from our health department yesterday on Facebook right when it was posted. I tried to get an appointment for tomorrow (first available day) but no appointments available. So I went to Saturday and was able to book appointments for both hubby and myself. Now we`ll see if they end up having enough vaccine...

Going to a different county is how my oldest sister was able to receive the vaccine.
 
You do what you have to do to get in line. So many people, so little time to get in ine it seems. Of course it will probably all open up at once...when the vaccines get more plentiful and the distribution learning curve is conquered.

Best to get in with a place and stay there if you can...after all we can smell booster shots in the making...lol.

@Liberty Do you reside around Kerrville?

No, we live in the far northwest of the Houston area ... about 40 minutes from Brenham. Do you know where that is? We got the shot and are scheduled for the second one there. They have a sub hub operating on the fairgrounds for about 5 counties. Brenham is in Washington county (birthplace of the Republic of Texas) and home to the famous Blue Bell Ice Cream Creamery.
 
I finally got my first dose. Overnight I was feverish but I slept better than most nights. Currently, just a little soreness in my arm.

It's a good feeling to know that 2 weeks after my second dose, I should have 94% protection from this dreadful disease.

Yes, I know where Brenham is. I am originally from Uvalde and now reside in Edinburg.
