Wait one minute here. [View all]
I am not gloating or denying anyone's stress over the vaccine roll out and the difficulty getting a shot.
Yes I got one, finally as of today. It was hell trying to get one. Sure, I got it for me, MA dropped the age requirement to 65+ and those younger with two or more health conditions. I also was panicked to get one as I am one of two that are sole caregivers to my 94 year old mom. Point, my mom is on a WAITING LIST to be vaccinated. A waiting list! I have spent three years trying to keep mom safe, the last one during COVID. The last during COVID has been the most difficult. We go out only for necessity. Fact is we bring it home, mom dies.
I have appreciated all the OPs here on DU. It has given me ideas on how to navigate the system. I have shared my own success with CVS. They actually texted me after I got an appointment to say that 100s of shots were available.
It has given me hope to hear so many have been vaccinated. Why? It is one less person that may spread this disease that has killed more than 500K. I know everyone is scared and as anxious as I was and still am.
Fact. None of us can let our guard down. We are, or should be wearing a mask for a long time to come. I know I will. It is the right thing to do.
Wash your hands. Social distance. WEAR A MASK!
Peace
