My 83 Year Old Mom Said "They Have The Vaccine But Can't Give Her A Shot Because Of The State"

[DanieRains]

At the medical center in the small town she lives in in remote Washington State.

She can't get the shot because of "the state" she was told.

As I was searching the news, I came across the article where distribution to senior citizens was being delayed because of the lies told by the Trump Administration about how many vaccines were in reserve. The states can't approve shots unless they have the 2nd shot, or know FOR SURE they can supply the 2nd shot.

"Vaccine reserve was already exhausted when Trump administration vowed to release it"

It isn't the state's fault.

Trump wants to kill us.

1. Washington State has not authorized 75+ yet as a category...

My 86 YO MIL in Seattle hasn't been able to get a vaccination either.

2. My Mother In Law Is 82 And In A Nursing Home In Seattle And She Got Hers

They don't have enough vaccine to git er done it appears.

And they can't be sure when they will get more.

Kinda like PPE if you ask me.

3. I am 75+ in Ohio

I believe Ohio opened it up, but actually getting the shot is another matter.

I am opting to wait. I live alone in a single family home. Many my age live with family, room mates, or multi family buildings. They cannot eliminate all risk. I can by staying home.
