My wife is only 62 and has an auto immune decease. How is she supposed to get registered when every site excludes her once she answers NO to the question if you are 65 or older?

Some with health issues and their caregivers have been able to access the vaccine through their physician.
Mass vaccination sites are unlikely to have the resources to properly screen (IMHO). |

i'd hesitate to get any vax if i were her, some have had deadly reactions, especially those with food allergies

An even better reason to work through a physician.

From the Health Dept:
"At the State of Florida website, there is a tab referring to the vaccination of medically vulnerable individuals. While a list of medical conditions or their severity is not available, over 28,000 vaccines were distributed to 27 large medical centers in Florida. The list of servicing hospitals may change over time. Please know that this activity is performed only by selected hospitals/medical centers (and not the health department). The nearest hospitals that received these doses for this purpose are: Advent Health Orlando, Orlando Health—Orlando Regional Medical Center, and UF Health—Shands Hospital. " I am aware of several immune suppressed people and their spouses who were vaccinated at one of these sites with Doctor's orders. |

What proven examples can you cite with the 2 vaccines currently available?

Months ago my doctor told me not to get the shot when they started. Just recently I heard from him to schedule my shat at the hospital where I get treatments. Was there last Thursday and am scheduled to go back in 3.5 weeks. Just check with your doctor.

How about you ask a professional, like a doctor. I doubt he will get her a shot but at least youre asking someone who might know. In the meantime, she should avoid crowds and protect herself until the vaccines open up for people under the minimum age

I take care of both of my parents. Our doctor gave them their 1st shots last week. They said I was too young, 67, yet I'm their 100% caregiver. Maybe they fear the results of the vaccine?

When the orders of the vaccination first went out again and again we were told those of us with pre-existing conditions would be getting them first it would have been very simple to set up the software for the websites or at least have something clearly written out along with the people above the idea of talking to your doctor first is a very good one my physician was given vaccination shots for the 65 and older group in his care as we are a low-income medical center. However that said you should write to your county whether your lake or Sumter the councilman as well as your state Representatives as to your problems in fact, they all have telephone numbers to be reached especially your state representative. You will find most of them are extremely cooperative and very willing to help you and all that you need. I have done this whenever I had a problem with the roads etc

my brother who is 61 got a card that he is a care giver for our 99 year old mother and they both got their shots the same appointment in Indiana - look in to getting a care giver statement or card for yourself from a doctor.
