In Arizona, Covid vaccine registration software is different for state and for the counties, and also differs within those jurisdictions.

Well, was still unable to register for Covid vaccination even with Google searching the relaxed age requirements that started today in Maricopa County AZ. Then I just watched a FOX News 10 story from this morning on the computer (I watch news on other channels); the person interviewed at the vaccination center provided yet another web link and I was able to get vaccination appointments for both of us for tomorrow afternoon. Of course I had to register us separately, verify that I wasn't pregnant, etc.

Anyway, got the ball rolling. Note that I didn't get us registered by being smart, merely that the information for this link was so convoluted and hidden, so others just hadn't found it yet. And they wonder why 75+ is having trouble registering !

And only 5 miles from my home.

Just noticed that now says all appointments have been filled, guess Fox News re-ran the story at mid-day broadcast, so I just snuck in before that.

Here’s a tip for everyone given to me by a nurse that I’ve known since we were kids. Check the smaller pharmacies and or smaller towns in your area. I did this a few weeks ago for my 93 year old dad and got him a first shot. He’s a tough SOB. Basically the roll out is a cluster fk. Different in all 50 states. I could have gotten one here but we have to drive 200 miles one way.

Glad to hear that your dad and Mr. and Mrs. Cusser are getting the shot to survive.

But we really shouldn't make this thread about the thing we cannot talk about.

Otherwise the Little Lady with the wedding ring. Will lock this down tight!

kingkarmann, thank you for posting this, it made my morning. I have heard of the Dodo organization recently on TV news as they share heartwarming stories of creatures big and small. The founders of the dodo decided it was better to share uplifting stories to motivate people to be kind to creatures then to show the opposite.

Lots of good news both local, nationwide and worldwide and there are websites for this. The evening news always finishes with a feel good story to leave a good taste in your mouth. Good news here sun is shining and snow is melting. Very Happy I’m going to cruise in the 74 bug and it hasn’t been started in about 2 months.
