Massachusetts Covid vaccine eligibility

[redbird]

The state has now announced when people in different groups, including "everyone else at least 16 years old," will be eligible for the vaccine. Of note: Rather than grouping everyone under 65 as "gemeral public," they'll be making people between 60-64, and then 55-59, eligible a little sooner. Also of note, the supply is lagging behind eligibility, and they don't expect that to change.

Details here.

Staggering the scheduling makes sense under the present supply situation, scary as that rightly still is. :-(

I wish Illinois would do that. Just so I'd know when to start searching for an appointment. There's no point whatsoever in looking before I'm eligible, but if I knew when I'd be eligible, I could put it on the calendar and think, "that's when I'll start my search."

That's roughly what we're doing in Ontario. Specific groups first (long-term care residents/workers, medical workers, Indigenous adults, etc), then going backwards in 5 year increments from 80+ down the line. I'm hopeful my mom (65) can be vaccinated by early June.
