COVID-19 vaccine

[Titchou]

I live in Alabama and we have received very few doses of the vaccine and have administered even less. It's a real problem vis a vis the number who qualify under 1a. I'll be 75 on the 25th, have 2 qualifying medical conditions and I can't even get an appointment. Florida will vaccinate out of staters so am starting today to try to find a place in the Panhandle.

The county health departments in Florida all have different procedures so you may want to call the county you're interested in. Jefferson County(Monticello) was very easy for my husband and myself.
Publix pharmacies in the western Panhandle have a phone registration system.
Louisiana has pharmacies giving the covid 19 vaccine.

Florida health.gov has a list of covid19 vaccination sites with information for sites,registration,etc.

My BFF works in an assisted living home and just got part 1. She said her arm hurt for 24 hours afterward but might have been as much the non-skill of the shot giver as the shot itself. She’s also in a less populated county. It probably won’t trickle down to me till April or May, if then.

My parents are 88 and 86, one a cancer survivor and one with an underlying heart condition, and because they are not in a congregate setting, they are part of 1B.
1B starts 1/18 in our state, with age 80+. One week later, 75-79 will be eligible.
I really with there had been a national plan instead of a disjointed state-by-state plan. But then we would get into a political discussion.
