(67,782 posts)...of standing in lines for hours was upsetting.
But I signed us up on several websites anyway.
Then about 6 weeks ago on a Thursday I got a call, "can your wife show up for an appointment on Saturday". She couldn't but they allowed me to take her spot. I was in and out in 8 minutes (plus the 15 minute wait afterward)
A week later I called a pharmacy that was giving the J&J because they only took live calls. Almost immediate appointments, my wife got her shot five days later.
Then two weeks ago I got my second shot.
We're done in mid-April, and I was despondent because I thought it would be June, July, or later.
Now almost 200 million Americans have gotten at least one shot, more than 25% of adults are fully vaccinated.
Yes, it's ALL on President Biden!
PS - in Connecticut there are now about 50 sites where people can walk in without appointments for the vaccine. There's a CVS less than a quarter mile from us offering it to walk-ins.
