Wow, I'm sorry Nammu. If she were here she would have at least gotten a first vaccine by now, no appointment needed, just showing ID. 90+ was the first priority along with health workers. Yeah, the vaccine here is the less effective type, but for someone with her risk profile it still sounds like it would provide protection from a serious case and having to go to the ICU at least.
Interestingly, here, it's some of the smaller, remote towns that got more vaccines than they needed for their priority populations and ended up vaccinating the rest of the people in town because the logistics of getting the doses to other areas was complicated.
