I tried, my local pharmacies ran out within days. Waiting for them to restock, they can’t give me an estimate. Not sure why they predicted they would need so few doses, we live in an area where most people are vaccinated

I have been trying.
But all my local pharmacies are out and aren't scheduling appointments until stock is back up. It's total hit and miss.
Got my updated vaccine. Was #6 for me.
Glad I got mine right away. All the local pharmacies have been out recently.
As far as I can tell my state doesn't have any available with no real information on when they will be available
What state is that?
New Mexico
I got mine today with my flu shot.
I was lucky to get both my COVID and flu shot at my doctor's because I am pregnant. I am grateful I was able to get them
I got mine like 2 days after that shit rolled out lol
somewhat slower
Because there’s a national shortage
Just got ours yesterday along with the flu vaccine and I’m still a little weak and ran a slight fever. We were at the pharmacy for an hour (don’t know what took them so long) but there was literally no one else getting any immunizations. Maybe we were just lucky that a new shipment came in.
Ooh, just over 2% of the eligible population! That "despite" does not belong in the headline. Although to be fair, they're probably trying not to add negative associations.
7,000,001, as of yesterday
grins smugly
So, basically nobody. I got mine at the start and never got another.
I'd be glad to get it if I didn't have to pay for it.
Edit: yes, down votes because I am expected to pay cash for a vaccine developed by my tax dollars.
