7. Not easy here in CA on the central

coast either. I miss the 75 yo cutoff and they just opened it to >65. Except, Stanford allowed 65 and over for a while, but not for their patients in my county. I’m in several medical networks but still couldn’t get an appt. Am high risk, on chemo ‘mongst other things, but realized I just had to be patient.

Then yesterday I got an outreach email from a medical group I’ve not used in close to 20 years, saying as their patient I could get a vaccine and the email link was good for 48 hours! Jumped on it, made appt for tomorrow, and today got another email asking to upload driver’s license and once I.did, it was confirmed and ready to go.

This is an impossible process for those who aren’t online and even then, not good at navigating. Trying to do it by phone is fruitless.

As supply increases, which is clearly happening, it will be easier. TG we have the federal govt guiding and supporting ... finally.
