I'll be 68 this week and qualify for the current distribution by age in Virginia but only because the CDC finally told states to move my class up. At the same time it came out the supply from the Feds did not exist. My state had me register on-line and promised a call back to schedule my shot within three days. It's been three days but granted two were a weekend and the other a national holiday. I'll let you know how it works out here. Currently VA is about mid-pack in vaccine distribution. Sad that WVA is ahead. We should all be at the same level. But then who is showing who how to do it. Looks like some states are now turning to Starbucks for some leadership help.

The issue is capacity. Not even the Feds could really put a dent in that.
Also the CDC recommends patients remain onsite for 15 min observation after they received the shot.
