I’m healthy, in my early 50s. I normally wouldn’t be in a hurry to try a new vaccine, but my mother-in-law has cancer, on immunosuppressants.
She needs my wife’s and my help for everyday things, so for that reason, we are both trying to “jump the queue” to get a jab.
“Trying... to get a jab”
It is a good time to be looking, because supply is up, and eligibility is expanding.
There are several ways to work getting an appointment. Register with your State and County Departments of Health for COVID vaccinations. Also with the VA, if a veteran (they have good supply, because they have a formal mission to collect data on the vaccine).
Some have registered as smokers, to qualify with a co-morbidity. Just bum a drag off someone else’s cigarette ahead of time, so you are not lying.
You can try this: vaccinefinder.org They have lots of sites around your home, and you can search in minority neighborhoods as well (another tip below).
Also big pharmacy or supermarket chains in your area (that have offered flu shots before), likely have web pages to schedule shots.
Each place tends to have their own schedule, for when batches of new appointments are made available. They sell out quickly. For example, one Freeper reported success by checking the Rite Aid site between 11:45 and noon each day, when appointments were opened, and all booked up. Ask the folks who work there, or who have been successful in getting shots, when the best time window is to get an appointment.
Another recommendation has been to check for appointments in majority minority neighborhoods. Several have said that made a big difference for them.
