As soon as the polio shot was first released, Bank of America was a distribution site. We stood in a long line to get our shot. A classmate of mine was one of the last kids to get polio before they released the vaccine.

I'm a teacher, but my county in Illinois isn't to 1b yet. They just yesterday released a form to fill out to hear more when they're to 1b. The county is also working with my school district to set up sites for staff once they're to that point.

My grandfather and mother were both scheduled for vaccines in their county next week - but grandpa is now in the hospital COVID positive and in heart failure, and mom is his primary caregiver, so no idea if she will still be able to get it. She's getting tested today. She was set to return next week to the classroom as a teaching assistant.
