Information on COVID-19 Vaccine distribution for Mayo Clinic patients

@seaspray and @ess77 I want to be sure you saw the link I shared above with the most up to date information for the vaccine on the Rochester, MN campus as I see you've shared speculation about Mayo Clinic in Rochester not offering vaccines. Here is that link, again, for quick reference: https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine/rochester
You will notice that this information is updated regularly and should provide reassurance.

Amanda, What speculation did I share regarding Rochester as I know nothing about that Mayo? For a quick reference to Florida her is the link: https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine/florida This is what has been up, has not changed yet they did get another supply designated for the group I mentioned. I read the newsletter that went out to the staff and I was there for a MRI on Friday and spoke with them. As I did say, Every state is doing it differently so Mayo in Rochester has nothing to do with Mayo in Jacksonville.
Hello, Amanda. Now that sounds more like what you would expect from Mayo. It makes no sense for Mayo NOT to be in the forefront of this research and the whole process. We do have to be careful about information....where it comes from, timing, and does it make sense....I'm so pleased to have both shots working creating antibodies for me. They better be working hard!! One more time, thanks Mayo for helping me be my healthiest.
I need to get the post I did on "Quality of Life" about my 2nd shot! Anyone know what to do? Let me know and I'll do my best.
Blessings, all......elizabeth

Thanks for the update, Amanda.
I will add - remember, the vaccine is distributed from the Federal government to the states and territories, who then decide how to parcel it out in their own state. And, at least in Minnesota, that decision is a moving target, as Federal guidance changes and the states try to figure out the best way to get the vaccine not only distributed, but also injected, as quickly as possible. Finally, priorities change too as to who is next to get the very limited doses.
I am pleased to say that in less than 2 months, 80% of willing health care workers, 23% of people over 65 and an increasing number of educators have gotten at least the first dose. That is a remarkable feat!
So to all Mayo patients, you need to regularly check back on your own portal, as each state will have different information. (Just substitute /florida or /arizona for Rochester in Amanda's link.) And to all others, you need to regularly check back to your state vaccination site for the latest information.
