My wife and I are scheduled for Feb. 6 at Rite Aid Drugs. Being in our late 70s, I'm wondering why we had to be so pro-active to get this. Thought we'd be contacted by our own doctor. Nope. My wife is an RN at a one-doctor general practice in Western Pennsylvania. Doc is not given any information whatsoever about the covid vaccine. He and my wife had to call numerous numbers at the hospital to finally get her scheduled for a vaccine as a health care worker weeks after the hospital workers got theirs. For whatever reason, only hospitals and pharmacies are getting the vaccine in Western Pennsylvania. Doctors offices are left out in the cold. The phone rings off the hook with patients demanding they give the vaccine, and he is given no more information than the general public. Our doctor is a member of a huge Penn Medicine group. Who better to look through medical records to see who should get the vaccine first? Oh well, get it or not, we will probably be wearing masks for the next year at least.

I Think every one that wants a vaccine will get one way before October. So I believe there will be an October York. We have plenty of vaccine's here in Maine. They are starting to vaccinate people here in their 60's.

Joe, I thought that you lived in Philadelphia. About 9 miles west of Phila. We can walk to our local RR station in about 8 minutes, then it's a 30 minute ride to the main Amtrak station, where we hop onto the Silver Meteor on March 18.

To confuse matters worse, my wife is from Butler County Pennsylvania same as me, but she went to nursing school at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia.

We submitted an email to get on a waiting list here in Delaware. Nothing heard so far. Try Rite-Aid drug store. Instant sign-up, and only a one week wait for the 1st shot. Still have not heard from our 2 other sign-ups.

But that was 3 weeks ago. Now they have to follow up with all the second shots. As soon as the J&J one-shot vaccine is approved, things will speed up.

"Big Brother" refuses to acknowledge that natural immunity will play a big part in this. To be on the "safe side", they will have us wearing masks at least to the end of the year.
