To vaccinate or not to vaccinate? That is the question.

Our state (KY) revised the 75 to 70+
It is confusing here because Connect is a global community.
One needs to be aware of local guidelines for distribution. This whole process of distribution is new, and many of our health departments are not prepared or and are understaffed for this.

I think It depends on the number of doses, location (with or without storage freezers), and the population in a region.

Confused? I am!

I think here in Florida the governor has been the one to decide upon the standards for vaccination. I believe at this point anyone over 65 is eligible and also anyone who has serious health issues. The roll out has been a bit rocky, but seems to be smoothing out. One of our major health care organization has become very actively involved in the distribution and this past week have given about 2,000 shots per day at two different locations, this in addition to whatever the county health department is doing. When Gov DeSantis was here on Wednesday he spoke about making the vaccine available at a major supermarket's pharmacy since seniors by in large are going to the grocery store (one of the few places many must go). I'm sure with just a couple more weeks the shakedown cruise will have shown them how to do this efficiently; they will learn from their mistakes. Folks like Ginger who are living with a health-related time constraint, should go to the front of the line. Perhaps call the Oregon Governor's office and get him involved??? It couldn't hurt; if he/she doesn't know, it won't get fixed.
