I'm eligible right now, but I'm told it could be April before I get my first shot. If I can avoid the virus until then. Another Trump triumph.

I am hoping to get shot when i turn 65 in july. They aren't giving a lot of vaccine to Oregon so it will take that long.

I am worried my hubby who is older and will have shot probably in March or April will start getting lax, I already have to nag about not touching so much stuff at stores and he tends to find excuses to shop that aren't necessities. He does wear mask and wash.

They're following CDC guidelines. That's a 10 year spanse between 75 and 65 years.

No appts. in our county. The adjacent one seems to be doing better, but online appts. get filled in the batting of an eyelash.

I'm gonna keep after my PC doc.

It's so screwed up bc of the unmentionable.

with Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, chronic pain, all being controlled with medication, for now anyway. I'm certainly in the high risk group, but there's no vaccine available anywhere. Even if there was, try signing up for it. There are only a few places that are able to vaccinate, and trying to sign up for an appointment when they do have a shipment (before they're all booked again in 15 minutes) is almost impossible. If this isn't an indictment of our failed healthcare system I don't know what is.

Thursday....It is a relief at this point.....I sensed it was going to be a real mess since tRump's Team historically behaves like a " Buy-here-Pay-here" car dealership...
