Tina - Warn him in advance that you will be doing this, but try pleading your case as his "caregiver." Here in MN, they are very conscious of using up every vial they thaw so there is no waste, and working hard to get 6 doses from each vial (which leads to a 20% increase in the number of shots that can be given.) This weekend, our largest medical center ended up with 800 soon to expire doses, and quickly opened a clinic to all over 65 to sign up & get injected on Saturday.
Everyone on a wait list should be alert to these announcements, often made on email or social media.

Sue, where was it announced that there were 800 doses soon to expire that could have been given to 65+? Was that in Rochester? I live 5 minutes from Mayo and am so anxious to get the vaccine due to my bronchiectasis. If there is a way to get on a last call list, I would be so grateful to be let in on the secret password 🙂 I am getting nowhere with my primary care doc or my pulmonologist.
