We've had that for at least a month. I'm 65 and had my second shot this morning.

My 82 yr old Aunt in NJ is still on multiple lists waiting . Am hopeful her local pharmacy that has a contract for the covid 19 vaccines will be given a supply soon.

Good for you!

In AZ they are at 65 +.

My husband and I received our 1st, just over 2 weeks ago.

Unfortunately, we are not able to make an appointment for our 2nd.

It's one of those where I have to keep hitting refresh.

We got the Moderna, without side effects.

@goldensrbest Good for you! Maine is not as slow as some. I'm in RI and we just started 65 and over last week. My hubby was able to get his first one last Wed. He did fairly well with it, had the Pfizer. His second one is March 17th. I am in the next phase so not sure when they will get to us. Good luck

I think it depends on how closely the state adheres to the CDC guidelines. New Mexico's program is being run strictly by those guidelines and we have the 2nd highest vaccination rate per capita (after Alaska) in the nation. Our state health department is in charge and they make all of the appointments.

We are finally thinking of getting enough vaccined, masked, stay at homes to make a new book club or to restart advanced yoga. The most exciting thing to ponder right now! Might have to wait for better weather.

In Arizona they make the second appointment after you get the first shot. At least that's how State Farm Stadium is doing it. 30 minutes start to finish both times.

@goldensrbest

You are such a young lady. From your writings on this Bulletin Board, I thought you were closer to my age.

Know you were/are hankering for your vaccine, looks like it's getting closer for you. Don't forget to less us know your vaccine date. Now that J&J has been approved, maybe you will only need 1 shot!

@skatting44 When I stopped at my local CVS yesterday. there was a new large storage building in their parking lot. I am hoping that means they are readying to accept a huge supply and get busy.

I didn't ask because just Friday morning, I scored an appointment at my local Publix pharmacy for shot 1, but I know my Florida county still needs thousands of doses to make any dent in our needs.

Here in Colorado on Friday (Phase 1B.3) will be the group 60yo and older, plus people who are frontline workers in grocery and agriculture and high-risk 16-59yo who have two or more designated conditions.

My Aunt is waiting for ShopRite in NJ near her home. She has her Granddaughter putting her name on lists electronically . She apparently has her name on the NJ State site but she says she has not been given an appointment . She prefers not to go to the Atlantic City convention center because of the crime in Atlantic City .

Yes, that's how it should be.

We both got ours at Walgreen's.

And though we feel fortunate to have received our 1st, we wish they would of made the 2nd appointment.

I got mine the first day Walgreens were giving them.

I was 2nd person, they were just starting to put their signs up for check in.

My husband was on stand-by, and got his 2 days later.

The employees response is, "Just keep trying".

Our Walgreen's is about a mile away.

Thank goodness in Washington state it has been 65 and older for several months. I get my second shot this Sunday. I am happy for those who are able to get the vaccine in their state soon. It is really comforting to be vaccinated.
