My job will give 2 hours of PTO per shot as incentive to get the vaccine. I have submitted like 4 online requests for an appointment through my personal email with not reply’s. It wasn’t until I used my work email ( a healthcare organization ) that I finally got a reply saying I am in line and recognized. Wish I had known to do that earlier.

You're into the older women eh Kush? ;D Congrats, I took my hub into the Valencia Megapod today for his second Pfizer. So now I can worry less about him doing something stupid killing him, about the virus anyway. It's also looking more like if you're vaccinated you can't vector. So I'm hopeful that bears out.

I'm in the to young to be eligible group but I'm really good with waiting until most everyone else gets theirs. I have good PPE and I know how to use it.
LOL! I love women of all ages.
Truth is my wife and I have been together since JR year of high school 1976 and she is 37.

She retired last August at 60 partly due to covid with a deal that included 2 years of health insurance. The county has a rule that employees can't return for 3 years but covid opened the door to allow some employees back so she works part time 15 hours a week and it qualifies her as an essential worker to get the vaccine.

California has decided 10% of the vaccines received will go to teachers (above 50 I think) and anyone associated with the schools, janitors, grounds maintenance, counselors, child care, etc. No requirement for existing conditions.
Yeah my gf got hers yesterday. She’s an administrator for a vocational placement program. I think.

You know, I’m not really sure who she works for...she has government clearance cards and sometimes gets picked up by an SUV with blacked out windows...

SLO county went to a lottery system today. It replaced the call or get online and watch the clock tick down to schedule an appt. Of course it never ticked down to zero for me; closest was 1:49 then All openings are full try back next week or check every day for cancellations. This lottery at least registers you and a random number generator picks. They know I exist now lol

I suppose on the 4th of July you'll be able to schedule all 3 vaccines at 11 different places.

Not that it helps much now.

I guess on a brighter note it is heavily in demand and most people want it.

I read somewhere it's $200 on the black market and they're beefing up security on truck shipments with unmarked packaging and panic buttons on board.

That's all we need to see some truck driver shot to steal his load.

Didn't some famous guy once say, "society is sick"?

The new 'enough' vaccine date is end of May. I'll predict by 4/15 vaccines will be easily available for most who want them. Merck will take about 5-6 weeks to come online.

Not bragging at all. I'm still way down the list anyway. But it shows where priority is. And how priority is different across the board.
I'm just teasing. I'm jealous of how effective the US has been at rolling out the vaccine. We can't even vaccinate a population a little smaller than NY state.

I think teachers deserve to be at the front of the line if they're doing in person lessons. Giving it to cops when paramedics and firefighters have not been vaccinated just reeks of cronyism
