They didn't do the required quarantine and they lied to get their shot.

Always has to be some abuse.* two people have been arrested for stealing
vaccine too.* A Texas doctor and a paramedic in FL.

I got a call at 5:30 PM today, asking if I could come in earlier than my
9PM appointment for my first shot. I had it in my arm by 6:15. My second
appointment is for Feb 23. All legally done without difficulty. How nice
it is to live in a well run Democratic state.

What state is that?

WA

Are you category 1B, over 75?

1b, over 65. That was the latest CDC recommendation.

Apparently it varies by state! but I don't know about the CDC

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/me...ID-Dooling.pdf
1a LTCF residents, Health care personnel
1b Persons 75 years and older, Frontline Essential Workers
1c Persons 65-74 years, Persons 16-64 with high-risk medical
conditions, Other Essential Workers

The 1st categories on each line are Prevention of Morbidity & Mortality
The last category is there for Preservation of Societal Functioning

OTOH
https://www.dshs.texas.gov/coronavir...AP-Phase1B.pdf
Texas says Phase 1B Vaccine Priorities•People 65 years of age and
older•People 16 years of age and older with at least one chronic medical
condition that puts them at increased risk for severe illness from the
virus that causes COVID-19, such as but not limited to:•Cancer•Chronic
kidney disease•COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)•Heart
conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease or
cardiomyopathies•Solid organ transplantation•Obesity and severe obesity
(body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or higher)•Pregnancy•Sickle cell
disease•Type 2 diabetes mellitus

But in Maryland 1b is 75 or older. 65+ is 1c

There are 54+ other "jurisdictions", not just states.

So is there a national standard or not?



I just missed that, I'm 74, 10 days ago. 1C, over 65

They started with 1B 9 days ago and 1C became eligible 2 days ago, but
plainly they coudln't do most of 1B in one week. So eligibility isn't
very important. Governor Hogand said something about that this morning,
but the Emergency Alert System Test came on and overrode it. I
suppose he said, Wait.

My brother is an 80-year old doctor, though he doesn't see patients. He
went to a Publix in Florida and they told him he was eligible, come back
in two weeks.

Hey, you Floria guys. Is there a way my brother can get his shots sooner
now that he's 80 years old? Maybe the Okefenokee Swamp has a clinic
with vaccine that no one can get to?

Make sure he checks with the medical system he uses. Hospital, or
University chains.

I'll tell him. Good idea.

Polyclinic got my wife in the next days when they
started their system. It took me a week using the UW system.
