on the part of my county. (For 3 days, computer opened it up to 1b people. When they found the error, it was closed.)

1. Vaccine and shot registration is up to each state. Some states delegate it to their counties. So, there is no uniform answer to your question that would apply to all states.

2. The antidote to adverse reaction is epic-pen. Drug stores have them. Pharmacy should have a sit down area and chairs in number sufficient to allow their customers to sit for 15 minutes after receiving the dose.

3. See #1, above. In my state, N.J., chain or large group practices are taking reservations for vaccines. No small practices are yet doing so.

4. Depends on the skill of the people organizing the individual program. I was in and out in 25 minutes. That included the 15 minute sit-down time.
