@hvert - Interesting that you are finding it difficult to get your booster. I mentioned the problems I have been having to a few people in the US and they said they were pretty easy to get. But, then, the US is such a huge country, I am sure availability varies between areas.


I was successful getting mine today, but it took four hours. I got there at 6:36 AM and got in line. There were probably 40-50 people ahead of me. They started giving out numbers at 8:30 which is when the vaccines were supposed to be starting. The woman with the vaccine coolers was kind of late. She got there at 9:00 and they started soon after. My husband showed up at 10:35 to pick me up. I had been vaccinated and waited to make sure I didn't have a weird reaction.

I heard one of the women giving out numbers mention that Mondays are quieter. Tuesday and Wednesdays are the worst. So, I guess it was a good thing I went today. I got a 3rd Pfizer since AstraZeneca is only being used for 55+ and Moderna was never approved here.


I was looking at the NY times tracker and we are now 3 in the world overall for vaccinations and first for boosters at 38%. That is why the lines are so long, I imagine.

@Discombobulated - I'm glad you will able to get your booster relatively soon. My husband and I watch football and rugby from the UK and he is always asking me why no one is wearing masks and the stadiums are so full. Here the stadiums are open, but there are still capacity restrictions and masks are required. He thought it was because cases are way down, but from what you have said here and what I have read, you guys are having more cases and deaths per capita than here right now.

The week-on-week comparisons have started to trend back down, so maybe this latest mini-wave is subsiding.
