Oso planning to go pro
I run with a nurse giving shots at the Wisconsin Center. Yes, she claims things have gone pretty smoothly.
Does anyone have any good leads/tips for getting on wasted dose lists in the Milwaukee/Waukesha area? I have a friend who isn't eligible yet and is trying to get her vaccine as soon as possible. I know I ran into issues when I tried to get on waiting lists where a lot of places were only adding you to a waiting list if you were already eligible.
I called Walgreens and the Wisconsin Center about a month ago and both said they'd put me on their lists. She could try that.
If you’re still looking to book an appointment, just set your phone clock to an international time zone, Australia is what my wife and I used. Works like a charm, we both easily got appointments for tomorrow. I even was able to have options as to which vaccine with this method (went with Pfizer only because it was much closer than the J&J).
Got appts for me and the old lady in Dodgeville this week. A friend went to Janesville from Madison.Seems to be more spots in rural/small cities than Madison/Milwaukee.
Same thing in the Chicago area. People heading to the state sites in Quincy for J&J, or to Springfield, Danville, even Carbondale. Booking Walgreens in the Peoria area. The state sites downstate, you could practically walk in right now and get a shot.Maybe somewhat surprisingly, people have also been having more difficulty in the suburban collar counties, their health departments don’t seem to have organized mass sites as quickly. Nor have most of the suburban areas announced plans for homebound people.
fwiw, i have a nephew who has worked as an animator for south park for 10 + years. not exactly a hot bed of conservatives. viacom has sent all employees a contract with one of the stipulations that they MUST GET VACCINATED in order to return. they were supposed to resume writing 2 weeks or so ago, then it became last week. now, he has no idea when they will resume writing. according to him, he estimates about 40% are against the vaccine and may not sign the contract. hmmmm and this is los angeles, believe it or not. just saying
So you're saying...about 40% of the population isn't exactly racing for the vaccine? Shocking:https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/poll-finding/kff-covid-19-vaccine-monitor-february-2021/Please get vaccinated folks.
no, just a btw kinda thing. "rumor' has it that the vaccine thing was more along party lines. yes, i do realize it still may be heavier on the "R" side, but again, just saying...many people are wary of any kind of "forced" inoculations including fluoride. oh, and another btw, i'm all good with people not wanting fluoride. i'm just here to help...i do root canals and extractions too and btw III - i am vaccinated
I found a ton of openings in the greater Milwaukee area for this upcoming week and that's without even looking at Walgreen's where I know a lot of people have gone for the vaccine. I had my choice of several locations to go to and ended up picking the Wisconsin Center because they were taking 1C people a few days early and I could get in there yesterday. They had a super efficient operation going there too.
