Bad news on our local vaccine front

A case of bad news being really good news.

The county is considering limiting access to vaccines as demand outstrip supply.are also running low

Walk-in shots are not currently available at county locations, only appointments. Drug store like CVS are experiencing lack of vaccines at some location.

The county has the highest vax rate in the state at 79.8%

We are waiting for our third shots.

We have a CVS a quarter mile from us, and now supermarkets are offering it.

That's the originals, not the boosters. No word yet on those.

Maybe demand here is down, CT is the highest vaccinated state at 82% for 12+.

to be honest, I would rejoice if our county had this problem as having the opposite problem is much worse.

The sign-up went active this morning, lots of appointments available. Maybe just regional?

I’m in Maine.
