(6,356 posts)14. Get an appointment late in the day, take your wife...maybe they have some extra doses...
Neighbor...47...perfect health...took his mother to get her shot. She got her shot and the nurse asked him if he had his because she had a couple extra doses in the vial that were going to go to waste. So he took her up on it, got his card, and got scheduled for his 21-day second shot.
It's a crap shoot but it does happen. Results may vary by state depending on local rules but it happens in OH.
(There's also the camping out at the local pharmacy around closing time - several friends have "scavenged" their shots that way in OH and GA).
Good luck.

You aren't sure you want to get the vaccine? or not sure you want to get it now?

Oh no. I'm really want to be vaccinated. But so many people over 65 still have not.

I say get the vaccine. More supply is on the way. I do not feel you will be depriving anyone else
