Maybe someone here will have an answer.

I registered online for the Covid vaccine on Friday, Jan.22. I'm 68, I have serious heart disease and anemia. Everyone I know (65 and older) have received their vaccination appointment. I've tried calling the211 number that I'm supposed to call if there's a question twice, and I'm told that they can only take a message. They've taken two messages from me and nothing happened. Then I decided to call my cardiologist to see if he'd help me out. No. Then I called my PCP to see if she'd help me. No.
I'm anxious and highly stressed about this. I don't want to be vaccinated in May or June. It's first come, first served.
Any suggestions, anyone?

1. Call health dept?

Hospital?

2. Do you have

a decent congressional representative who might help you?

3. I have a similar problem

I received my first shot of Moderna vaccine a week ago. Their computer was down so they could not make an appointment for the second shot. They told me to book the appointment online but there are no appointments available in the eight day window I have to get the second shot.

If I can’t get an appointment I think I will show up at the site and explain my problem to the supervisor. Maybe they’ll be able to help me.

Good luck and best wishes.

4. You didn't say what state you are in. In WA -- *keep trying*.

Online signup for appointments open up at odd times of the day -- my SO tried once every few hours -- original appt was Mar 5, but an appt opened up for today, which appeared late last Friday afternoon.

It's a mess. Keep trying. I bet the people you are calling are absolutely swamped, they may not be able to perform a miracle and have any priority to put you in a scheduling system that is getting absolutely hammered.

6. Hang in there, relief is coming. Am in same situation, am "registered" but 50K ahead of me.

From the start I thought I'd wait a couple of months to see how things went. A couple of my (even) older relatives (I'm 74) have gotten the first round. But in my region the routine is big events on a first-come basis, meaning caravans of vehicles, some overnight, then Running-Out by the time of opening time at 8 AM. I can't do the overnight thing, have to go the bathroom frequently and there's a dog involved. But am quarantined (like everybody?) and have no contact outside except for groceries/pharmacy, have tested Negative three times, so can wait?

Can I offer comfort?

7. Nothing here

74yo with 3 comorbidities; hubby is 78. We both registered over 3wks ago for the list to be informed of when & where. Neither of us have heard a thing.

Our PCP knows nothing either. Very frustrating.
(We're in the Hampton Roads: Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Newport News Metropolitan area.)

8. Each state is different

You may have better luck addressing your question in your home state forum here on DU.

9. Sue them...

-

That’ll get their freakin’ attention!

I’m not one to push for suing anyone, but It’d be different if they at least acknowledged you.

If you need a lawyer, my other one is free at the moment:
