I'm in NJ for 3 more weeks.
I have a friend here who is 66. He does dialysis 3 times a week. He does it with the same people every time, he's the youngest. Most are 75+.
His son is a first responder and he got called over to a local hospital because they had several no-shows. This was about a month ago. He got his first shot.
Last week he went to get his second shot and almost everyone in the line was in their 30s.
Until last week he was the only one in his dialysis group who had had either shot.
He about lost his mind that 30 somethings are getting vaxxed and 75 somethings can't get it.
My wife cannot get an appointment and she's over 65. She's been trying. Nothing is ever available.
We've just decided to wait until we get to Florida. We own two houses in TV, so hold the "get it in your own state" bs. You can't get it up here unless you know someone apparently.
I'm not going to be eligible until no one wants it any longer, so I'm just going to continue on IVM prophylaxis.
