We're last in line. I don't even follow any new updates as it's a complete cluster f job. They couldn't even prioritize the groups correctly. My guess is in summer.

wait till the J&J one

Depends on how diligent you are and how willing you are to jump the line. If you have friends who work up at cottage hospital, I suspect no problem at all. If you want to claim you are a healthcare worker and dummy up a pay stub, easy game. If you want to wait your turn, looks like April ish.

Also nobody wants jj injected in them

Brock Landers · 03-03-21, 09:28 AM

My illini brother

Come back to Champaign county

Wife and myself are both fully vaccinated here.

Easy sign up thru carle as well.

Maybe summer time? Covid will probably be gone by then anyway.

Call there’s a lot of vaccines are they gonna be shipped very soon all over the country it is a must you get vaccinated to kill this problem

Chi_archie · 03-03-21, 10:24 AM

just wait, once bill gates activates the tiny mind control robots that were injected in early vaccinated people, they will come around like zombies shooting people with vaccines with automatic weaponized dart guns

just let it come to you

TheMetsSuck · 03-03-21, 12:07 PM

It’s pretty easy to get one in Cali if you are willing to wait a few hrs for extras

jjgold · 03-03-21, 12:09 PM

Get your shot Illini

I get updates from Kaiser. At this point I'm eligible but no appointments are available. For the most part California is moving slowly than other parts of the country. Here's a link myturn.ca.gov.

I will take my chances with the 99.98% survival rate.

Right now it is only 65 and up. Or if you have health issues.

My dad got his 2nd vaccine last Friday. Tremendous process

jjgold · 03-03-21, 02:08 PM

You don’t want Covid any age

marcoloco · 03-03-21, 02:12 PM

Get thrown in jail to get it sooner

Depends on the county. Healthcare workers, teachers, and first responders/essential workers are eligible in LA County

JIBBBY · 03-03-21, 02:21 PM

I'm living here in Santa Monica, Cali and don't have clue or care about the vaccines. I did see on the news they are coming and being distributed now more then ever though.. Google it.

Jake jumped the line. REPORTED!!!

jjgold · 03-03-21, 04:19 PM

Illini get home man and get the shot

The estimate is that there will be enough supply for every adult to get vaccinated by the end of May.

If you want an mRNA vaccine rather than the slightly worse Johnson and Johnson one, the wait will be longer.

Good info. Thanks. My girlfriend has Kaiser and they are trying to get her vaccinated asap even though she doesn't qualify age wise yet. And i need to register for my own.

True. But haven't they been eligible for it for almost 3 months now? I guess I assumed they got it already.

But I have a California license and my taxes are tied to Santa Barbara. I am not sure how the vaccination process works. I do not know what we have to show to get vaccinated.

Totolover1409 · 03-03-21, 11:59 PM

I'm a healthcare provider and got my Pfizer vaccine (both 1st and 2nd dose) last month. My assistant's mom who is in her 90s received her first dose and her second dose has been rescheduled a few times now. Seems like they haven't finished providing vaccines to the 65+ population yet.

I live in San Diego btw

deltgen · 03-04-21, 12:14 PM

I assume this won't apply to you Illini, but I got an email from the VA this week saying that the VA hospital I use in Loma Linda is stocked up and I can make an appointment anytime. I've zero interest in it, but apparently there are all sorts of variables in this state to get the shot, (assuming one wants it).
