I agree. The process was pretty simple. But people have to remember that the odds of getting an appointment range from 6:1 to 10:1 and possibly might go higher.
That waiting time for my next shot is not 30 days. It's 28 days or exactly four weeks at the same place and same time.
Close to 2 million or perhaps more than 2 million Florida residents have been vaccinated. That is about half of all residents over the age of 65. As more and more get vaccinated, fewer people will be applying and the odds of getting on the site and getting an appointment will get better.
Half of the residents over 65 have been vaccinated in a little over a month. It should take about another month until every one over 65 has gotten their first shot. We're probably looking at the end of March before all over 65 residents are fully vaccinated.
I realize that I was lucky to beat the 10:1 odds but as I said those odds are going to start to get much better.
I think that some people believed that 330 million people were going to get vaccinated in a week. We should be thankful that this vaccine was developed and approved in less than a year. In most cases it would be many years before something like this could happen. Be patient, it won't be much longer for everyone.
