State: Scheduling vaccinations is more than three months out

Newsday

With the relatively scarce vaccination spots getting scooped up quickly by lucky residents, the next potential appointments available won't come until late-April at this point, the state said in an alert on its website Thursday.

The alert, in all-caps bold type, said "currently appointments have been made for the next 14 weeks," or about three-and-a-half months in advance.

The state is blaming the backlog on limited vaccine supply from the federal government.

"Over 7 million New Yorkers are now eligible for the COVID vaccine but the state only receives 300,000 doses per week from the federal government," the alert said.

1. I was put on a list yesterday to get a call,

When the next shipment arrives. They said it could be soon , and someone would call to set up the time to actually get it. I do live in a smaller town , and they've gotten 600 so far. I think they're expecting much larger numbers sent to them . Hope so.

2. Vaccinations are being rolled out in my State of Illinois

A former coworker, now manager of an Optical Place, was informed he is considered an essential worker and will be vaccinated before many others. As doses get manufactured and distributed, they will be administered. Many nonessential workers and those that are healthy and younger will need to wait awhile though. I am hoping by early/mid summer for myself?
