In last group and not supposed to call to schedule for vaccine until 19th. But.... got text this morning from a friend that local place has so many open appointments they don’t give a crap what group you are in. Schedule... show up.. get a freaking shot. She (also in last group) goes today. Scheduled for tomorrow am and texted sis. Sis offered to help of I get sick from the shot then... I get text of “oh screw it, I only live 2 counties away. Hubby and me scheduled tomorrow pm.” Did they tell you which one you’re getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 16 and up here though. No I’d love to know but haven’t seen any good info. To make it worse I get the weekly Covid update for the state and if has 2 sets of numbers of vaccinations given. Freaking numbers don’t match... like not even close. IMO PA wanted to make sure the people who need it the most got it first. But.... no thought of what to do if number of available vaccines outnumbers people (in those groups) scheduling. Also this stupid idea that blanket rules for the entire state is a good idea. If you haven’t lived here it’s amazing how many different types of people and living environment we have. Never realized how many types until went to college few hours away. Plus state medical head just left for a DC cabinet job. Not sure how good the fill in person is doing Glad you got vaccinated.

Just got told you will be scheduled for the second shot and links to Moderna and Pfizer. Lack of info surprise surpise Drove to the place to check and hardly any cars in the parking lot.

rpbobcat Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 10 minutes ago, Terri Schehr said: I think under 18 can only get Pfizer? 100 % correct. There was story on this on the news this morning. NJ is lowering the eligibility age to 16 as of 4/19. That was do in part to planned increases in J&J doses. Problem is,because of the problems at J&J's Baltimore plant,NJ's allotment will drop by about 96% for the next several weeks. That's gonna create more of a backlog in the scheduling of appointments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what they did with the other twenty minutes. 🤷♀️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the intake person told me, “but you can really come in anytime on the day you are scheduled.” Go figure. I should add that there are about 30 stations going at the same time.
