You don't need to worry, you will be working hard in your participant corps in the first leaders chair extraordinaire otherwise known to band people. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no international fans, Japan's tourism industry won't get much out of this. According to one of the sports shows I heard, a number of US and International athletes are still hesitant to go. Wonder if they will find a way for US athletes to "go to the front of the line" for vaccinations ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird timing... just got a post from an out of state relative who said I “should go to chain drugstores just before they close to see if they have left over vaccines”. 🤯 Anyone else think of Oliver Twist asking for more gruel? “Please sir...” Edited March 22, 2021 by JimF-LowBari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they have doses left at the end of the day. Right now its Phizer and Maderna. J&J won't come back until the end of the month. As long as you don't have anything else to do, its worth a shot. Some places will even call people on their waiting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even sure which local places are giving shots as still in first phase and everything hush hush if you are not in that group. (Or in that group but no internet or text access. Neighbor blew up about that yesterday to me.) Plus have couple of hospitals within a few miles and they seem to be doing most of the work. My understanding is can’t get on wait list unless in the current group. I’m in the tail end Charlie “who didn’t we get yet group”.

I thought it was odd, too. But when I was getting my vaccine, 2 people around my time (at the end of the day) were no shows. 2 people randomly wanted the vaccine and were able to get initial shots. A vaccine in the trash doesn't do anyone any good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
