and frankly am of two minds. First, I qualify based on occupation (I am a teacher in a school where we have students attending in person). I made my appointment about an hour ago. I could have gotten it as early as 2 if I weren't at work. In short, no wait. My county's rate is 51 partial/ 44 full. Now, honestly, on one level it is a disgrace that I am getting my third shot before nearly half of my area has gotten its first and with over half not fully vaccinated. And if there were a line, I wouldn't be jumping it based on occupation. That would be, in a word, gross. So while I am grateful to be getting my booster, I am disappointed too.

And to be really honest. I still feel bad on some level here. I know that in a sane world we would be vaccinating everyone once before some get a third dose.

update you all should make sure to call the place you make the appointment with if you did so online. I showed up but they aren't doing them yet. this was Walmart so I tried Walgreens and the same thing happened (this time they hadn't defrosted the vaccine). So I will be doing tomorrow I guess. But call first is the lesson.
