vaccines: envy and etiquette

[redbird]

Captain Awkward just posted an article on "Vaccines: Envy and Etiquette": suggestions of what to say and do, and what not to say, if you have already been vaccinated against Covid, as well as suggestions for people who are still trying to schedule an appointment.

If you're reading this, you'll probably be nodding or thinking "I know that already" about some of it, but maybe not all, and Jennifer is a good writer.

The main thing I would like is for people to stop helpfully suggesting ways I can get vaccinated. I am not eligible. Yes, there are ways I could get vaccinated anyway! Yes, I too have heard that [small town several hours away] has excess vaccine and that if I just showed up I could get a shot, no questions asked! But I am not eligible, and until such a time as I am, I am not going to go chasing a vaccine hither and yon (never mind that I cannot drive anyway).

...sorry. Not to imply you’re doing this! But there’s been a lot of it lately, and it’s something the CA article doesn’t really address.

Yes, "I'm waiting until it's my turn" ought to be a sufficient answer, and I'm sorry people are being hlepy at you.
