Message: [QUOTE="DocStressor, post: 3866957, member: 10851"] People who sign up on a state registry and wait to be scheduled often wait a really long time. The site I posted has links for private vaccination sites like Walmart and Sams Club. These places get allocations directly from the feds and are separate from the state registry system. I suggest saving each one of those links and check them every day. Very often they will announce new appointments the day before. Then you need to be on the site as soon as they open as it will be on a first-come-first-served basis. Once you are on a site, don't keep hitting the refresh button or it will put you at the end of the line each time. The distribution process in most states is very unfair and disorganized. The states rarely have the Public Health infrastructure in place to do mass vaccinations. In many places, like here in Florida, the state just kicks the responsibility down to the counties, which are even more unprepared for the job. You just need to be proactive and patient in order to get your shots in a timely manner. If don't you could be passed over. Some states are already lowering the age limits next week before they finished vaccinating all of the previous groups. [/QUOTE]
