The Doctor asks an important question that I don't think has been addressed. My wife who is 64 got an email this morning giving her the second step code and she was able to schedule a first shot appointment this morning. We knew that the Governor was planning on lowering the age limit to 60 soon and we assumed that might have happened over the weekend and the news sources just hadn't picked up on it yet. So we went and were told (politely) that she was not yet eligible but they could not explain why she had been given the scheduling code if she could not yet get the shot. The best answer we got was that it was an "IT" problem. We saw several other cars being sent down the escape road so I don't think we were the only ones to run into this. The car ahead of us I was able to confirm had the same issue. Not sure how to get back into the queue with GMR now once the age limit is lowered. WESH NBC is reporting that the Gov. plans to do this next week.
