Xerty I want to express to you my heartfelt thanks. While I’ve always enjoyed my fragiledeal membership, never before have I benefited so markedly thanks to you and to your post, above.
After failing in state, I tried your idea at an out-of-state pharmacy. Frankly did not have a lot of hope.
I WAS SO WRONG!!
Easily was able to make an appointment to receive the J&J vaccine at a Rite Aid pharmacy scarcely twenty miles distant from my home. This is more than acceptable. There were MANY appointments open. I was so surprised.
The following is speculation on my part. I do not know if this is right and I could easily be in error:
It is possible that by going to Rite Aid I am tapping into “Federal” vaccine which is not limited to a specific state. The other vaccination providers hereabouts are using “state supplied” vaccines, mostly of the two-shot variety, and they are not offering shots nearby for people who live in such rural settings as mine.
I was 100% honest in my Rite Aid application. They know for certain I live outside their state. Apparently they quite simply do not care!
But, xerty, your idea to try pharmacies is gonna get me a shot. I am grateful. Thanks!!
