We received our booster yesterday

We didn't actually qualify according to CDC guidelines, but are older with several co-morbidies. But I read in local paper that few were going for boosters and a large supply of vaccine was available. So took a chance and went on line for an appointment. I answered all questions truthfully and was immediately given an appointment the same day. No problem, got right in and got the shot! Amazing and easy. Apparently they are allowing for age. Thank goodness and feel great.

you believe an octogenarian with diabetes and copd, who lives in an area where few are taking advantage of free booster shots and its being thrown out, isn't qualified, we plead guilty as charged! We were children of the 60s after all!
