I just got a text from CVS re COVID vaccine.

Thousands of shots will be available over the next few days for those 75 and older.

I don't qualify, yet I may soon.

Thank you President Joseph Biden for shipping direct to pharmacies throughout the country. You have done more in 30 days than trump has done in a year to fight this pandemic and make America safe.

Thank you.

Yes once they get that group vaccinated they work to the next group, etc.

Biden has done more in a couple of weeks than Trump could ever have done in a lifetime.

is vaccinating people who bring others to get vaccinated. I wish CA would do that.

CVS apparently is texting people in Massachusetts, maybe the state is involved in that case, fairly organized there around healthcare.

If you live near a Walmart, go to Corporate Walmart.com or Walmart.com and query COVID19 vaccination. I read ad a news article today, Walmart seems to be using the Press to spread the word. Hopefully the Biden vaccine distribution team will ask the private pharmacies to use Radio and tv ads to get the word out.

They started at 80+, then 70+ now going in 5 year age groups (because larger numbers). I, too, have a bit longer (current and next group need to get their shots), but am hopeful that is coming soon.

When Biden entered office (3.5 weeks ago) his team learned what a mess the distribution "plan" (= non existent) was, and millions of "missing" doses (I'm looking at Jared), and yet testing is going relatively quickly and they have just secured hundreds of millions more doses coming down the line. Amazing.

I join the chorus echoing your thanks.
