I assumed that, too. What I'm trying to find out is WHEN they're going to start the 1B group. I haven't found any place where I can sign up for emails/alerts from Yuma County. I'll keep looking, but they certainly don't make it easy to find (and Yuma County may not even be set up to do that since it's such a small county, unlike Maricopa County).

fpmtngal Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 22 hours ago, Barbaraok said: I signed up for the Alerts from Maricopa Country Health Department - every day I get an email about where they are in the process. Additionally, the governor tweeted out yesterday that Douglas County was starting the 1B vaccinations and followed that with a tweet that Maricopa County would begin next week. In the email from Maricopa County last night they said that they would not open up registration/reservations until Monday as they are still tweaking the website to hopefully include more sites (ie, CVS, Walgreens) where you can be vaccinated. If they kept just the three POS (Point of Service) that they have now, they would end up with Loop 202 and Highway 60 at a standstill with all the retirees heading into Phoenix to get their vaccinations. 😎 I looked on Pinal County’s website but didn’t see anything that mentioned about signing up for updates. This morning they said they are booked with taking wait list requests for one of the sites (group 1a and 1B only). I’m in 1c so don’t think I’ll be getting a vaccination anytime soon. As a snowbirder, would anyone check to verify whether I’m actually staying in Pinal or Maricopa counties? I’ve also been thinking about heading to Quartzsite in February for the rest of the winter. I wonder if I’d have an issue coming back to this area for a couple of days when they start making appointments for group 1c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that we all need to keep in mind is that the people putting these programs together are just as new to this as we are. They are bound to have some bumps in the road and even a few mistakes that must be corrected. In reading the posts and the internet reports, it would seem that seem that many agencies with difficulties are adjusting to programs more like those of the areas with a better process. They are doing the best that they know how and I am confident that it will be better. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

jcussen Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Appears the new government now wishes to distribute all available doses of the vaccine instead of holding 50% in reserve for the second shot. Hope we don't run into a situation like what we had with PPE's where the PPE manufacturers started selling to the highest bidder and perhaps the second shot is not going to be available to those that got the first shot. Looks like the US gov. contract with Modera is for 200 million and with Phizer, 200 million single doses. But 50% protection from one shot is better than 0% with no shots. As far as I know, both shots have to come from the same manufacturer. Quote Foretravel 40ft tag 500hp Cummins ISM 1455 watts on the roof, 600 a/h's lithium in the basement.

Barbaraok Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Yes, shots need to be from the same manufacturer, but they initial amount from each was 100 million doses, and the second 100 million are NOW being manufactured. So no reason to hold off vaccinated now. They have already started the second round of vaccinations, so they can move ahead. Plus, the other vaccines are in the pipeline.

sandsys Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 We received notice today that our vaccines will be administered by Hennepin County here at our complex in Minnesota next Tuesday and Wednesday. With ~400 apartments it will take awhile to shoot us all. I'm hoping for an afternoon time slot since, as a night owl, I sleep until about noon most days. But this is one thing I will get up for in the middle of my night if that's what I need to do. Dave is so looking forward to being to socialize again in a couple of months even if he still needs to wear a mask when out and about. That would still feel like freedom!

soos Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 On 1/6/2021 at 2:25 PM, spottrouble said: I am currently in Northern Nevada, they are telling me that vaccinations are only available to county residents and you must have ID to show you are a resident. Does anyone know where/how those of us with itinerant lifestyles are supposed to be vaccinated? Currently the local DMV is closed due to rona, and this county only has 2 nurses working 3 days per week on vaccinations, at the current rate it will take 4 years to vaccinate everyone. Weighing my options, need suggestions. Thank you. Mohave county in AZ just south of there says ANYONE can be vaccinated if you are in the correct “group” and that if you are a snow bird or temporary resident, save your paperwork because the second dose needs to be from the same company as the first.

And you with him since you share living space? Yes, we are both over 75, so we are in the 1B group and can start registering at 6 am Monday morning in Maricopa County (Phoenix area). Hopefully we can get appointments by the end of the week or the first of the following week. And this will enable us to get our second shots before we leave the valley in April.
