@rechu the booster roll out is pretty bad here. I'd call it non-existent. There's no coordinated distribution effort. The state has a list of 100 places in my county which offer vaccines. I have to go through each one individually to see if they also offer boosters, who they will offer them to, and then to see which brand they have. I am kicking myself for not making an appointment when I was looking last week because they just opened it up to everyone. I have my annual physical in a few weeks and asked if they could add it on to that and they said they were still trying to figure out how to distribute. That place did a good job with the vaccine roll out so I will probably wait for them.


Four hours is a long time to wait, but there's something nice about being able to just show up, stand in a line, and get it over with. That's awesome you guys are so high on the vaccination list! I am not sure we are anymore. There's less interest in the boosters than there was in the vaccine. Part of why I don't feel in a rush to schedule is because I was so miserable after that second shot. I am not looking forward to the third. How have the third shots been?


There is an outbreak where my grandmother lives. It started a few days before they all got their boosters. It seems limited to one floor right now and I hope they caught it in time to contain it. On a positive note, I know of several vaccinated people now who have caught Covid and not suffered badly, including one 77 year old. Maybe we still catch Covid with the vaccine but it really seems to help prevent a more serious illness.

@Discombobulated They started offering third shots to immune compromised people here some months ago. Even when people were eligible, some pharmacies would not do third shots. People would have to lie and claim they were coming in for their first shot. So stupid.
