Find out how long until YOU may get the vaccine....

"Find Your Place in the Vaccine Line"
A vaccine may be around the corner, but how long will it be until you get the shot? Health officials are considering vaccine timelines that give some Americans priority over others. If you’re a healthy American, you may wait many months for your turn.

To put this in perspective, we worked with the Surgo Foundation and Ariadne Labs using their vaccine tool to calculate the number of people who will need a vaccine in each state and county — and where you might fit in that line....

Great.

Prisoners, drug addicts, and nursing home patients who will be dead of something else before I ever get a chance at it.

Look at it like this...every one that gets the vaccine before you is one less that can give it to you

I’m a shut in by choice so I plan to let others go before me. This shut down has hardly affected me.

There are too many people ahead of me in line. If I can talk some of them out of the vaccine, maybe I'll get mine sooner.

After I get mine, I will highly recommend that everyone get vaccinated.

Until then, hey, avoid this shot. It will make you sick, tired, dumb, ugly. In other words, it will turn you into a Republican.

Moved up on the list. Especially the homeless with underlying conditions. We homeless are marked as a public health hazard.

I guessed as much. Even though I'm almost 70 I have very good health, and I'm not employed in an essential industry. So I'll be wearing my mask and social distancing for a long time yet!
