I feel you so much on your thoughts re: weight and the vaccine. Thanks for the encouragement to make made-up things like BMI work to my advantage, rather than letting it get me down!

Oh hell yeah! If they're going to use BMI, I'm definitely going with it.

Use TurboVax: https://www.turbovax.info/. My husband just refreshed the site a few times one day and got an appointment the next day. They're constantly popping up.

Thanks! I've been following them on Twitter but I didn't realize their site was more up-to-date.

Pharmacies around here say to call at 3pm to see if there's any going to waste. I've gotten my first Moderna dose because of the Waste List I signed up for. Looks like https://hidrb.com/ is what NYC is recommending - worth signing up if you have flexibility! You have to get there quick.

In my area of SC there's skepticism and outright refusal for the shots. It's really disheartening, I'm not sure the state can get to herd immunity with the attitudes.

I'm signed up with Dr B! And I'm hoping NY will change the eligibility rules soon--fingers crossed that by May everyone who wants a shot will be able to get one. It's awful to think your state might not have enough people who want the vaccine--at this point, doesn't everybody know at least one person who's died from COVID? Why would you want to risk that?
