Spoke with my Oncologist on Friday 1/22 and she said the Oncology dept has no idea when we will be notified about the vaccine. Hopefully Mayo (here in Jax) will receive more soon. Apparently they have their own Covid board in charge. I asked about going to the Regency Mall and she thought it was a dangerous situation to put myself in. So, I will wait.

Hello, seaspray. (a 'beachy? I'm in SS) The Mayo Jax Covid Task Force notified me on the online patient portal to make an appt for the vaccine. I got it a couple of weeks ago. I hope to get the 2nd shot Feb 3. if available. Like you, my only non-Mayo doc is my PCP. The same issue re Medicare. Really mucks up the works for me and smooth care w/clear, easy communication, but....I hope the Clinic will soon change this policy, It will help a lot of us.

But, till then, I'm so thankful for the opportunity to see the doctors I do. They have truly saved me from tougher times with this aging body! I don't have many things that aren't great to say about that place. But, this is an area I do hope they can address.

I hope and pray Jax gets more vaccines asap and we can all move forward....I wouldn't think of going to Regency at all! For me, standing in line with a bunch of folks for anything with what we're dealing with isn't on my agenda! I feel the same re the Mandarin site....I'm thankful for Mayo, but have been surprised they haven't led the way here. In JAX, the Baptist Health roll-out has been far from stellar. There's been almost zero info from them w/no patient vaccines as far as I've seen.

Nice chatting w/you, neighbor. Enjoy that ocean! Blessings. elizabeth
