Covid19 Vaccine Appointments

[BHC]

FYI:

For those wanting or needing a appointment, I just signed my daughter up and within 10 minutes they contacted me to set up appointment for tomorrow, here is the link

Is she in group 1B?

[BHC]

Can't get appointment unless one meets the requirements

I am in 1a group and I just received my first shot Friday, but I don’t think they even check I was never asked for any kind of proof or asked any questions, I went to Gloucester County Mega site and must have seen 50 college age kids getting shots

I will be getting one in NY before I get one in NJ.  Already have the appointment set for 4/5.

[BHC]

NJ has requirements like job, health risk concerns but no matter of the location they don't ask for proof or doctor's note to get the vaccine.....NY on the other hand requires proof

NJ removed college professors and IT workers from group 1B.  I went back to check and their guidance issued on 3/12 doesn't list us.  I signed up for the NYS one in January since I teach in NY and got an appointment.  NJ is a total shit show.

you meet the age, and if you have health concerns on the list you can get it here in NJ

Did you just call me old and obese?  If that gets me on the list, maybe I am...

[BHC]

16-64 with certain health risk.....fat is one of them

So glad I'm passing on getting the shot(s), seems like a pain in the ass.

I guess I'm the ass, I can not understand why everyone is standing in line to get the shot

It's a shame that only people that are computer savvy get appointments much quicker. When Vaccines became available months ago, my Wife was able to sign up the two of us, my Sister, my Son's Mother In Law, my Son and his Wife all at one time at a nearby hospital.

She went to the site constantly and even into Sunday evenings to find when openings came about. If you wait around for someone to call you because you merely signed up, you may be waiting a long time.

I agree you have to stay up on it, my mom is good and got the whole family including some extended family appointments, that said she was on computer 24/7
