My daughter and I are in the same situation, we are in the Caribbean. Yesterday, we made the decision to take matters into our own hands. She flies to NY on the 14th and returns on the 17th. She has an appointment for a Moderna shot, but will try to get a J&J if she can. She will fly back to NY for the second shot when needed.

FEMA is now giving only J&J shots in FL starting next week. I plan to fly to FL and stay with vaccinated family. One and done! I can feel the tension leave my shoulders......
