We got appointments for our Covid shots!

[CTyankee]

At last! Hubby and I have appointments at Griffin Hospital in Shelton CT for Saturday the 30th, second shot Saturday Feb. 27.

Finally, supply has caught up to demand! I was amazed at how easy it was. I guess I was expecting some kind of snag.

OK, time for some ice cream as a reward for making a simple phone call! What a relief!

1. That's great!

I’m definitely not in the first tier but I’m happy to hear that folks are able to get an appointment.

2. My daughter was a constant nag about this.

She made me feel like I wasn't trying.

3. Lol on family call yesterday my daughters really went

After 92 yr old gramma. My mom is so stubborn she lives in senior apt building that does meals no medical so doesn't do vaccine there, she said she is waiting for Walgreens. I really think even if offered somewhere else she wouldn't go! One of my daughters said, gramma I will call for you, to which she said I am going out to Walgreens and will talk to them. She is in bay area CA.

I am just glad she doesn't go out but rarely. I don't turn 65 till July so I expect I won't get till then.

4. I was just worried sick for weeks. Every day seemed to be doomsday for me.

But I made sure every place I went (physical therapy for my arthritis, food shopping, dentist, etc) I was amply masked and stayed a distance from others. But i still felt helpless and nothing helped. Now the logjam has been broken. And thank god!!!

8. Glad you are getting it

I had to go to lab at doctors office today for checkup that will be either on phone or video. I tried to delay appt to April but I think doc wants to check because I gained weight this past year. Past month been on diet and lost 4 lbs so far. Another 10 to go...first months I ate my way through homemade goodies 🤪

What made me realize I have to go back to using my own pen, they had sign in with bucket of "clean" pens and tray for used. None were in used pile and I saw two people put back, mine was only one put on tray. Glad I bring wipes with me.

18. Walgreen's usually is pretty good. Their business model is devoted to medical needs. And

here they have lots of stores. We got our flu shots there because our usual pharmacy in in Stop and Shop where I food shop.

5. It seems impossible here

I’m in western Pennsylvania and have been trying to get an appointment since Friday when they announced those of us over 65 are now eligible. Every time appointments open up somewhere, they’re gone in minutes.

7. CT has been up and ready to administer the shots but the supply lagged behind. Now that logjam

has evidently been fixed. Our governor, Ned Lamont, really aced having the state ready to take all comers in each stage, but the supply lagged behind. Now VOILA! Logjam broken!!!

How blue is your state? We have all Dems Gov., both Senators, all House members. Here in New Haven we have a Dem mayor. Everything was set and ready to go but we had some nailbiting on getting the damn vaccine!

9. Same here in Oregon

They barely gave us any, most are dems here, actually I live in only area with repub congressman senators gov dem. Statehouse has both.

12. Our governor had a "rainy day fund" to use for amping up testing, repukes here whined that our

axes were raised (BAD!) and now we were only held back by lack of vaccine. Once that kicked in we were ready. That helps get the vaccine to people FAST and orderly.

I hope this teaches them a lesson but I won't hold my breath.

Good for you!

10. Congratulations

11. Congratulations. Here in Los Angeles things are completely f'd up.

Not enough supply. They said everyone might be vaccinated by June 2022.

[CTyankee]

13. Why does this happen? My daughter and family live in N. Hollywood. I know you have a terrific

governor. What's the problem?

[beaglelover]

14. At this point I think it's the supply of the vaccine. There's just not enough for the amount

of people in CA who are eligible to be vaccinated. Hopefully, the supply will catch up soon. And by the by, I live in North Hollywood as well! Small world!

15. anywhere near Margate St?

[beaglelover]

17. I'm about 3.5 miles from there.

I'm near the intersection of Laurel Canyon and Oxnard.

[Digger]

16. Yup, got my appointment today.

My immediate area was already full so I took the next best thing...about 70 miles away. My son and daughter-in-law are going to drive me.
