Was it because there was extra vaccine left in the bottles at the end of the day and instead of wasting the vaccine, hospital staff opted to call people in to receive it? This is going on a lot.........

Seems to me they should have a stand by list where you may be called last minute at the end of the day and you have 30 minutes to arrive for your appointment. Kaiser here in the bay area is doing this.

No. The newspaper said that they were setting up appointments for them. I had wondered what was going on. I called a month ago to try to get an appointment and the receptionist said that they were only vaccinating staff members and their relatives. I didn't realize that it meant relatives who were young and perfectly healthy!

I'm still ineligible to get the vaccine. Louisiana has received quite a number of doses, and there are mass distribution sites throughout the state (I could walk to one of them), but nope. Even though I'm a cancer survivor and have other comorbidities - I'm still ineligible.

(Eligibility: 55+ with comorbidities, 65+ regardless of comorbidities, medical personnel, police, teachers, and pregnant women.)

The evil part of me wants to find someone who's pregnant, get her to pee on a stick, and use that as "proof" that I'm "pregnant" and should get my jabs. The ethical and moral part of me is stronger, so I will wait my turn. But I wish I could just get my jabs already...
