Trying to get vaccinated in Massachusetts [View all]
Massachusetts is one of the places where a working vaccine was invented (Moderna headquarters is in Cambridge). Ironically, trying to actually get vaccinated here is a problem for Massachusetts residents.
The state has set up a few mass vaccination sites (not real smart - encouraging crowds of people who are by definition not vaccinated yet), and set up a web site for people to get appointments there. People are seeing astronomical wait times, in one case 50475 minutes. In another case, someone was told he was in line for appointment sign-up, and that there wwere142334 people in line ahead of him. These numbers are from the front page of the Boston Globe.
Another vaccine (Johnson & Johnson) is about to be available, it will probably be approved tomorrow. Maybe it will help a bit. My wife and I have a chunk of J&J stock, but that will probably not help us get vaccinated earlier.
