Hi, jeanne5009. I don't understand why anyone would camp out overnight to wait in line for a shot! Help me here. Aren't they given by appointment? I wouldn't ever consider waiting in a long line, much less overnight? That's amazing to me.....do you know where this is happening? If it's a single issue or?????? Perhaps this is a county issue? Computer, phones, work eventually or if we know which button to push......The elderly you're referring to must not live in an elderly community or nursing home. If we live on our own, it IS our responsibility to get information and be proactive in our health care. We can't depend on the government to be in charge of us. That's our responsibility. And, these folks live in Florida, the local gov't should be giving information out. I'm very thankful for Mayo.....again.

This happened in Lee Co FL. They elected not to assign appts. Not sure how they are doing it now. Some of our counties did try to schedule appts but they were sold out in minutes. Our Govenor has announced today that our statewide grocery store Publix will start a trail distribution making appts on their websites. It is a good plan but again, seniors without computers are out of luck. It all centers around how much vaccine the Fed govt will give each state and when. Very complicated and I fear very political.
Mayo is good, they will let us know if we need to get it ASAP. I am sure they are giving their supply to the patients most in need.

ess77, Our govenor in NM has imposed such strict rules before Thanksgiving that they only allowed 75 people in a Wally World at a time. Wait was 2 -4 hours. That to me is insanity to wait to get in there!
