Where To Start In The Hunt For A Covid Shot?

I would start by calling your family doc. He will be able to steer you toward your counties sources. At this time it is likely you will have an appt for at least a couple weeks down the road, and they will schedule your 2nd shot at the time of your first. 

By chance are you a veteran? if so you can call the VA for an appt.

Not a vet....

I just called them.  Other than the incredibly poor phone connection (due to the person on the other end using a "Green Acres" type phone system) 

Young members wont get that reference, having to climb the pole was great.

I thought Mr Haney made the show. Favorite of mine watching channel 29 from grand island.

 

On topic, took a bunch of attempts, SIL got dad in at CVS finally.

Not sure where u live or if I’m just lucky .. my neighbors have been trying for a month or more and finally got an appointment in Binghamton ..

We live in Cayuga County near Auburn 

I called our town clerk last Friday . She took our names .. got a call on Tuesday saying we can get the shot Friday ..

So my wife got hers Friday , I declined mine so we both didn’t get it the same day ( Moderna) and then Thursday morning I got online to see about the J and J one and got an appointment for tonight !

I didn’t have any issues at all

That should be the qualifier ... name three characters on Green Acres and you get the shot.

Name the three daughters on Petticoat Junction and you get the shingles shot.

I haven't given it much effort yet but know it's the right thing to do so, what the best way to source a covid shot?  I've looked at the NYS website some this morning.  Is that the only way to get one?
(I have a letter from my doctor saying I qualify but am under 65 years old)

Honestly the state website is best if you check it a few times a day you will get a appointment within a few days. My wife got almost my entire family appointments that way. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles...

If you need help shoot me a PM

Like the bridge scene in Monty Pythons Holy Grail. Answer 3 questions to cross the bridge, or be cast into the flaming gorge of hell.

Same guy came up with Beverly Hillbillies(and the theme song) Petticoat Junction, and Green Acres.

Genius.

Not to de-rail this thread but, of the guys that have gotten the shot, did you have any reactions?  I heard a lot of people who have had covid and got the shot reacted bad especially after the 2nd dose?

This is supposedly yielding quick results

Wait, I thought trump said we could just shoot up some household cleaning fluids.   Did I screw up with windex?

[Salmon_Run]

I qualified through work, however local health network, county public health all directed me to the state site. The state site was a major PIA, however I was awake late one night as they posted single appointments and they were quickly taken up almost as soon as posted. I assume they were cancellations as they were singles.

I kept refreshing and was able to reserve a appointment within two days, it was two hours drive but I felt worth it....it feels almost like winning the lottery when your able to get one....

Best of luck..

That's an awful lot of information to put into an unknown google doc. 

The official NYS site doesn't require any of that.

name address and phone number?

[left field]

It's an anonymous google doc with no information on it about who you're sending all your contact info to. 

The NYS site just asks your zip to find the nearest shot.

Florida is dropping the age requirement to age 60 next Monday. Would not be surprised if NY follows suit soon....After all, NY is a leader. LOL

When I got the second one , it made tired and I felt like I had the flu.

For how long? 1-2 days?

[2012_taco]

I'm scheduled for 3-21 (Sunday) in Buffalo, and yesterday I get an email from Roswell that I'm eligible for the vaccine there. So I checked and got an appointment for 3-12 , so I'll cancel the later shot. I wish they would tell you which vaccine you'll get, I would love to hold out for the J&J vaccine but there's no guarantee which drug you'll get.

My wife signed  up on Chemung County health dept on Saturday  for notification. Had an e mail last night  at 6 pm.  She signed  me up in under 5 minutes. Got my first choice time  for afternoon  on Thursday  . It  be a  phiezer shot . And its 5 miles from my house .

I got on the state site yesterday and had an appointment in an hour, local for March 17th. keep refreshing it and new appointments pop up even for facilities that say they have no appointments available.

Cuomo announced this afternoon that the vaccine eligibility age will be lowered to 60 starting tomorrow March 10th. Go get 'em!
