I think it depends on your state. Last I heard all that wanted a shot should be able to get one by the end of May.

Through our local hospital and much to my surprise, I was able to get an appointment for my first shot tomorrow.

Go to your State's COVID website for the answer.

@MW in Iowa. It depends on the situation in your state and seems to vary wildly. Seems as though anyone can get one in Texas or Florida. We have people in NM driving 4+ hours to Amarillo to get a shot. No residency requirement.

The announcement yesterday with Johnson and Johnson and their joint venture with Merck, they are now operating 2 new manufacturing plants,24 hours a day, seven days a week.

President Biden has made the goal that a vaccine will be available for every adult by the end of May.

Everyone in WV has to register thru a state website which kicks our info to the health department in the county where we reside. Lists are compiled and maintained from online registrations. We are called with appt information when our registry appears on their list.

I've been on the list a month now, and hope I don't get a call until my county has the one shot option available, and gives me that choice.

@RedTop. That's the way we do it too except the state health department handles the whole thing and makes the appointments. I got my first Moderna shot two weeks ago and have an appointment on the 16th for the second. It has worked very efficiently.

congrats on finally speaking to someone about a COVID-19 shot. Hopefully you will get your appointment soon.

DH and I had both doses and it is once less worry for us.

I can't see going through this process yearly 😷😷

In Arizona anyone 55 and older can get a shot.

I have been on several lists since end of Jan and still not been contacted. The list means very little, at least for me.

What happens if you get a call before the one shot is available? Would you just postpone the shot until you can choose an option? I'm not criticizing, just curious. Whatever you decide is your choice.
