There are probably others who are just waiting and letting others be the guinea pigs first before they decide whether or not to get it, and that's fine too - like I said, let people who want it get their shot.

The best thing about the people who are worried about microchips tracking them is that most of them have cell phones, a device that tracks things you do and knows where you are at all times. And they don't care about that at all!

I know there's a protocol with certain questions they have to ask, and they're probably required to go over the list of potential side effects, but I brought in the consent form I had printed from the health department's website already filled out and signed and told her I was excited to have finally gotten an appointment, so clearly I was not on the fence about it LOL.

You were so prepared with a consent form! At that point, I feel like you could shorten protocol to "do you understand the risks and do you have any questions."

Meanwhile there are places that literally have to throw them away because people aren’t showing up for appointments. I mean, it’s not like I go anywhere, but it would be nice to feel like I can go get my COVID hair cut without worrying about dying.

That's is really frustrating, Mare! I've been trying to help my mom get an appointment and it is a process for sure. You should be able to go get your COVID haircut without worrying.
We have a similar thing here with the dose-saving lists that you can sign up for if you can guarantee you can be to the location in fifteen minutes or something like that. Keep trying! I'm sending good vibes your way! If it gets too ridiculous, I'll just come get you and drive you to Syracuse so my in-laws can help get you vaccinated! (This sounds weird, but they're both doctors so it's semi-relevant, lol.)

LOL I saw on the website when I made my appointment to print it and fill it out in advance if possible, so I did... and then the receptionist acted so surprised when I brought it in. Typical, I guess most people don't read or follow directions. Hence the need for nurses to be really detailed when checking to make sure people understand what they're getting into LOL.

Ugh, so true! The big one on mine was pre-filling insurance information and consent on their online database, so I wonder if they had issues with that with people or not since I didn't get quite the detailed checking in that you did.
mare:
They are getting a little closer. There were a few appointments opened in Rochester lol
nicksgal:
Ooh, that's a lot closer! I'm excited to hear that. Soon!
