The vaccine distribution is slow here. My age and immunocompromised will both qualify me in the same group.

@rosemarya I thought the age qualification, for now, was over 75 and I know you are not. Of course a lot of this is CDC recommendations and it's up to each state to decide how to handle it. I would qualify in NH for being immunosuppressed I believe.

@rosemarya @merpreb @silverwoman Here in Oregon, our county has not received very many doses. There is a fb broadcast by our Public Health Director this afternoon that I plan to watch, as I submitted my dilemma to them the other day. My oncologist is in the next county north, over 100 miles away. But if need be, I will gladly go up there to get the vaccine! I will be sending him a message on the patient portal today. I also have a "tickler" in my file at primary care doctor, for vaccine need.

So glad to hear that patients with health issues are being taken seriously. I qualify for the group 1c by age and health, but they say it might be March or April before the first dose is available to that group. The sheer logistics of identifying people for each group has got to be daunting.
