2. Yes, thank you

I live in Bucks Co. My husband and I are both over 70 with serious concomitant health problems, which put us in the 1A category. We registered with the state and county health departments. We tried to sign up with our pharmacy, our physicians, and the local hospital. All of them told us they had no waiting lists, and no vaccine. My pulmonologist, who told me that getting covid would be a death sentence for me, could not get us signed up.

In early April, a woman my husband plays bridge with asked him if we'd been able to get vaccinated, and she gave us the phone number of a family practice in Newtown, about 15 minutes from us. We got an appointment and got both shots (Moderna) with no waiting.

The whole process in PA has been mismanaged from the very beginning. There were rumors of vaccine available further west, but here in SE PA, where population is denser, people--old people and sick people--are still having trouble getting vaccinated. I hope, when this is all over, someone will figure out a better way for the next pandemic. If my husband didn't play bridge, we'd probably still be waiting.
