I've been trying for weeks but can't get any further than a waiting list with 10,000 other people my age (over 65). Rite Aid, Walgreens, Mercy Health just say it's not available in my area. I even waited in line for a two hours to sneak in last weekend with a forged document, but found out they were only giving the 2nd shot that day.
They came around at dialysis today and told me they're getting ten doses of the Moderna drug and I'm one of the ones there who need it the most. Depending on how you look at that, I guess I'm pretty lucky. haha

Over 92 million doses have officially been given so far, and it's likely higher than that because data lag.

Thank you, President Biden.

Anyway the county declared that ALL people working in public schools are to get the vaccine so even though I have no contact with students at all, I qualified and Im in the system via the temp agency. Yay!!

(7,281 posts)I'm a little anxious about the second shot. first one was a breeze, no side effects whatsoever. Hardly noticed any soreness in my arm the next day, didn't even feel the "jab". I always feel the jab. The experience was quite exceptional.
I'm just hoping my second one is a similar experience. But I'm prepared for slightly adverse side effects.
We'll see how this goes in a few hours.
