To those who got theirs do they give you any proof you got it ? Fake cards will show up on the internet for the non-vaccinator types. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formariz 11,849 #105 Posted March 3, 2021 Getting my first one tomorrow and wife got hers two weeks ago. For me it was a constant checking on the computer for availability which was not easy. I was beginning to think the whole thing was rigged since when checking on county site as I was looking at it they would add new dates and they were all taken when they added them. Finally one morning as I checked just for the heck of it without any expectations there were lots of appointments available in half dozen places. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,484 #106 Posted March 3, 2021 No County run system here Cas. This is what the state provides. A map of places that may have vaccine available. To date, I have not found any with openings and only one that actually took a registration with a promise to call back if a shot was available. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,633 #107 Posted March 3, 2021 Interesting Ed... So anyhoo for all you vets that use VA I got recorded calls from the them saying about virtual townhall meetings about getting your shot. They kinda stated if you don't attend you may be in danger of losing your VA benefits. I know the VA is picky about having to come see them at least once a year for a "wellness" check up so they threaten us all the time about this. Nice to know uncle Sam is looking out for us vets. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOB ELLISON 2,976 #108 Posted March 3, 2021 Me and my wife finally got a vaccine appointment for 3/4/2021. Mijers of all places and I think it's the Johnson and Johnson single dose. But I won't know until I get it and I really don't care witch one. 6 weeks I've been trying to get an appointment. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,004 #109 Posted March 3, 2021 @WHX24 I use the VA for all my health care . They have been taking care of me since 1973. Have a visit with the primary clinic every 6 months and all the other clinics whenever I need to see a specialist. I have a service connected disability so it may be different for you. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,809 #110 Posted March 3, 2021 Remember! When an announcement of Vaccines are available, It is based on the fact that X number of vaccines are SCHEDULED TO BE THERE. If for some reason only half get there or don't get there at all is part of the reason for the difficulty in getting an appointment. There is no conspiracy against this guy or that guy. J & J was just approved and already they are being distributed in NY at night believe it or not to accommodate the mid shift workers in the Syracuse area. with more vaccine available you will see the misery of scheduling an appointment dissapate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelman 250 #111 Posted March 3, 2021 I got my first shot (Moderna) last Thursday and my wife gets her second (Pfizer) tomorrow. She had us on several different lists (county, two local hospitals, Meijer and Walgreens) and I"ve received three calls this week about open schedules so it appears to be opening up quite a bit here in NW Ohio. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nurse told me they are vaccinating 150 to 200 vets a day ( that includes Saturday ) at this location. So operating 6 days a week at 7 hours per day at 150 per day , they are jabbing approximately 6300 per week. Already scheduling the age 60's. Not bad for a Fed run hospital . I would have liked to have been there for that. Nurse took one look and got out he cordless drill with a diamond tipped bit! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have clinics set up in smaller towns so folks don't have to travel so far. In the last 9 months I have peed in so many bottles, they gave me a 5 gallon jug and told me to bring it back when it was full. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me of the lead test we did on all employees back in the day. After using Red Lead primer for 50 years, OSHA thought we should all be tested. Everyone carried and filled their own personal jugs for a week. Not one employee was over the lead limit. I still think some guys had their wives filling the jugs at night. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted to go to a VA my dad went to cause I liked the Dr. but VA said no this this is where you go. Fortunately we can go to any VA for the shot. Used a lot of red lead in the Navy Ed.... We was more worried about nuclear radiation tho! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,004 #122 Posted March 3, 2021 @WHX24 You know that there is some kind of ruling about if the VA is 40 to 50 miles from your home you can use private Drs for your care. You should check it out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeek 2,284 #123 Posted March 3, 2021 On Monday our great Gov. DeSantis signed Executive Order 21-47 authorizing K-12 school employees 50 years old and older (among others) to get the vaccine (me). Our District (Pasco) had and email to me by Tuesday at 4PM with an automated scheduling link. I get my first shot Saturday 3/6 and the next on 4/2.
