Anyone having a hard time trying to get the vaccine?

The vaccine is supposed to be available in to the people of Utah when more vaccine is received and starting after all the elite—all health care workers, then teachers, essential government t
workers (governor etc as well, I bet) are vaccinated. It is supposed to start in February.

I am questioning and have a lot of why them questions as well. Why vaccinate an 80 year old with Alzheimer’s before a functioning disabled person? Why vaccinate people who live in nursing homes before the elderly who have not been vaccinated if the nursing home staff has been vaccinated?

Why vaccinate the over 75 healthy no pre existing population before the older pre existing population or the disabled population or the children at risk population and on and on. When do we vaccinate the people in mental health hospitals?

I wear my mask, I now also wear a face shield, I try to social distance, which is the hardest to do, and I wash my hands. I wash everything that comes into my house from the stores. I am careful. But, since the vaccine is only helpful to not getting the virus or aids you in being less sick if you do get the virus; I will just wait my turn.

I’m told Aneeda , that the reason they are vaccinating the elderly and dementia elderly , because it’s such an awful death from the covid, trouble breathing , painful etc etc.....that it is not a nice way to end ones life.....!!

I am not saying not to vaccinate them. And it’s not a nice way to die for anyone. I am 74 so I am elderly. I feel elderly. But I would rather my in their 30s year old disabled sons be vaccinated first.

They are vaccinating the dementia patients cause they can’t keep the masks on them. How easy do “they” think it is for a mentally retarded person to understand they have to wear a mask. It took a couple of months for my DS son to understand he was not being punished since he was not allowed to go anywhere. @charry IMO, the priorities are wrong.
 
Combine the shocking number of people refusing to get the vaccine with the very confusing data on who is qualified to get it and you wind up with 70% of the vaccines stuck in warehouses and the vaccines that have expired. The 70% number was on the news this morning when they brought up the latest surge is due strictly to the New Years travelers and partiers. Now Biden is going to change the distribution strategy so hopefully that will be the right decision. I get the feeling this is going to be a bigger quagmire than anyone anticipated. I made a call to one facility and got a recording they are only giving it to healthcare and essential workers. That is fine but in Texas that is not the plan. People over 65 with qualifying health issues are supposed to be along side healthcare/essential workers.
 
Just got an email my son with DS and the organization he is with are going to get the vaccine sometime over the next three month at Walgreens. Husband went to sign permission forms. Not wild about the Walgreens location, 🤦🏻‍♀️, you get the shot, you go home, if you have a reaction you call the paramedics.

The paper asks if you have a seizure disorder. Hmm, wonder if you can not get it if you have seizures. My other disabled son has seizures.

Ask his Dr. And I would drive immediately to a hospital after his shot, wait 30 minutes in parking lot in case he has an allergic reaction. Not go home and call for help, thats wasting precious time if does have a reaction.

The group home takes them. There are four of them, but I agree with you. When we get the exact date I will ask them what they plan.

I truly understand ....I’m not sure anyone knows what they are doing....
My husband can’t be left, and severely handicapped from his stroke,
But since the start of the virus, I’ve had no help or offer of help, whereas I would of thought he would be under the vulnerable section....
I’ve had to go to the shops, (no online available) and queued up for medications ( can’t deliver to me ) I’m disgusted with it all.....
 
I received an email this morning that the local PriceChopper grocery chain is taking reservations for the Moderna vaccine.

A local drugstore chain, Kinney Drugs, is also beginning to offer the Moderna vaccine for in-store vaccinations.

This is an encouraging sign for me that the vaccine will be available locally without having to go into an endless line for hours or sitting in a parking lot.

At this point, the reservations are only available to people in group 1B over 75, etc...
 
We can start making reservations tomorrow for the vaccine to be given in February or March same for our sons. I have a feeling it will take days to get through to make the appointment so probably get it in March.
 
Supposedly we will be able to start making online reservations tomorrow, but this is South Carolina and I am not willing to put money on things going smoothly.

In theory it looks OK, but hell is always in the details.

I'm glad our reservation system is online. I had no trouble getting on, and I know it went through because I got back ID #s for me and my sister. The ID #s don't have anything to do with your place in line, they're just for reference and for getting back into your profile if you need to. The initial profile thing asked for your name, age, occupation, pre-existing conditions, so I guess that is to sort us into categories.

They are sending out updates, which are basically "just wait," but at least they verify that we are in the pile.
