You said before that it was always at the discretion of the states,
which means they coudl have lowered it to 65 no matter what the feds
suggested.

. Most governors, eg
Cuomo, Murphy, DeSantis were stupid and just lowered it right to 65,
plus they included people under 65 that had pre-existing conditions like
high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, or just being overweight. In other
words they pretty much opened it up to everybody.

It also seems that in some rather prepared states, one is supposed to
sign up with the county, with a drugstore or 2 or 3, with your doctor's
medical practice, and with your insurance company, and wait to see who
calls or emails you first, an inconvenience to you, while to some extent
or other using up the resources of all the ones that don't contact you
first.
Scheduling means an email is sent asking the person to pick a day and
time, and when he doesn't reply, aftr enough time has passed, that could
enable them (the computer) to write someone else, but at the very least
that means the other person gets 2 days' less notice. The possible
problems are endless

Yes, the problems are endless. How do you email the elderly that have
no computer, no email, no smart phone? So, your ideal us useless to
many thousands of the most vulnerable. While computer sign up is good,
it must also have phone sign up ability too.

Where do you do the shots? Many are being done at parks and parking
lots. When I go, it is about 12 miles. No problem, but what about the
low income elderly park where many do not own a car?

The problems are endless and no matter the solution, the people left out
will bitch about it. The number one problem still is the lack of vaccine.

Lack of planning seems to be the next biggest culprit in getting a list
together.
