I got my first shot Thursday in Texas - again by word of mouth. Someone I
play online bridge with had a friend who whose doctor told her Harris County
was opening up a couple places for those over 65. I had tried the Houston
distribution center whose number was on TV and they said they had no spots
through the end January. I’d also tried Walgreens, CVS, Kroger and H-E-B that
supposedly had shots. No luck. So, while I was dummy I tried the Harris county
website and snagged an appointment two days later. Three of us got appointments
that way. The fourth wasn’t sure of her schedule so she decided to check the
next day and she is out of luck. The January appointments are all gone and they
haven’t opened up February yet.
I got the Moderna vaccine. Sore arm but that is all. I have an appointment for
the second shot - date and time but no location.
Seems like a cockamamie way to roll out a vaccine.

Hi Everyone,
My wife Barbara and I were given our covid-19 shots this morning. Somehow
Safeway received a batch.
How were we informed? Well, a lady in Barbara's book club heard about the
opportunity from her ex-husband. That lady started notifying people in the book
club. Many of the people in the book club and ladies bridge group are retired
teachers who Barbara knew when she was teaching. One lady from the bridge group
notified Barbara and fifty others (she is very active in her church and other
senior type groups). We started monitoring the Safeway medical dashboard and
all of a sudden, many appointments were available. We then notified some people
in our mineral club who signed up and notified others.
When we showed up for our shot, we were asked how we knew about the shot being
available ( was it suppose to be a secret?). She asked if we saw it on their
website or received word from the county health department. We don't normally
frequent Safeway's website and had not thought of checking the county health
departments website.
So, is the distribution of the vaccine and our chance of signing up an act of
randomness or an act of chaos? Perhaps networking is an additional layer on top
of those two factors. Certainly an orderly plan of distribution does not come
to mind.
We were so excited about the prospect of being vaccinated that we showed up at
Safeway a day early ( and were not the only ones to do so)! But, hell we can't
tell one day from another at our age! We get up in the morning and 26 wild
turkeys are standing outside staring in our windows, waiting to be fed. We feed
them, have breakfast, walk the community roads with our neighbors for exercise
and social life. Then we retreat to our hobbies.
Good luck in getting your vaccine,
Bob
