My daughter got on line yesterday a d checked and finally she found a couple openings for tomorrow she immediately set them up. (We have been trying for weeks).

They called this morning and said they could not give her hers.

She's 17 and the vaccine they carry is only approved for 18 and up.

So she once again checked everyone within an hour's drive.

All were either out or had no appointments...

They opened up CO to 16 and over (depending on which vaccine) on April 2nd, and my daughter has had no luck in finding an appt yet.

Currently not old enough, nor am I part of the phase of essential workers that’s eligible for getting shot.

I should be eligible in the next phase, but there’s no specific date set for when that next phase starts.

Why would you wait for some bureaucrat or politician to determine for you when you should be entitled to a vaccine they are telling us everyone needs to get eventually?

All of this priority stuff is bullshit. There should have only been two categories: 1) elderly in care facilities along with the workers there as the FIRST and top priority, and 2) after the first tier have been vaccinated then EVERYONE else of all ages or professions who would be willing to get in line to get the shot.

I advise you to make an appointment and say whatever you feel you need to say in order to get your shots NOW.

Because I’m a civil, and reasonable civilian.

But since you care - got first shot today.
 
This is what I got at Walgreens. I swear they are tempting me to cut in line.

We don't have any available appointments coming up within your area.

You can change the location or check back soon!

WI just opened 16 and over yesterday but we learned a couple weeks ago we were both eligible, she works in food service and I am high risk.

Between her work and school it is almost impossible to find the time to drive the couple hours needed to get here...

Yeah, my daughter pretty much need to get her shot on a Sunday or Monday. But there is nothing open anywhere around us for ANY day. Not surprising really, because 16-49 is a big
chunk of the population. And then add in that everyone in the previous categories had not yet all been vaccinated...... I imagine in a couple of weeks it should be more available.

When Walgreens called me this morning they said if I came in the next couple hours I could get it today.

I have very high anxiety and was nowhere near mentally prepared to go into town...
You may just want to drop in and hang out...

My neighbor said that someone she knew got it today by hanging out at the store. And I do have anxiety about this whole thing. I've made arrangements for someone to go with me so I don't back out.

Sbe was working in back at a fast food place (as I made her quit her waitress job last year.

I let her go back last week assuming she would have shot within days.

I hope I don't end up regretting that.

They serve travelers from all over so it makes me nervous...

Do they have a mask mandate? My daughter is a licensed (NOT happy endings!) massage therapist, but everyone is still masked so that helps.
 
Last September Trump said every American will be able to receive a vaccine. He was scoffed at.
I am going for the end of the line.

Some people might hear that response and conclude a willingnes to submit to your government masters.

Glad to hear that, but you didn't need to wait until they determined your value to THEM. Part of this entire exercise has been an exercise in submission. One which will prove to be in the bigger picture exponentially larger than the one following the 9/11 attacks. A means to condition the population to willfully surrender more and more of your rights, independence, privacy..... for "the greater good".

Most stores still do, however our oh so compassionate Republicans won a court battle in our conservative Supreme Court last week to drop the statewide mandate...
I would be very surprised if Walgreens do.not require them...

I would imagine Walgreens requires them. How about your daughter's workplace? Masks are no longer required outdoors in our county, but still mandated inside.

Yes they do as you can imagine they are removed by customers for eating...

Yeah I get frustrated with people a lot. I haven't had my blood drawn for the only complication that I have thyroid. It's been a year and a half. I used to get it drawn every 6 months because it can storm sometimes. When I get anxious like this I'm not sure if it's my thyroid acting up.
 
Demon said:
Of course. But at least it should help that she's in the back. Still scary for you though, and I hope she gets her shot soon. And you as well!

That's her other job, now she's also waiting table's...
 
Changing my vote to reflect that as of 4/1 I’ve gotten both Pfizer vaccines. Zero side effects for either.

Now to start getting back to life. My band begins rehearsals for the summer outdoor season, which looks like it’ll actually happen, first week of May and my drummer and I will be be doing a number a recording dates with a guy putting out a blues/rock CD. Fun stuff.
