Apparently Arlington has the system down very well. I have a few friends as well as my wife and I who signed up using the Tarrant County site and within 5 days we were contacted with an appointment time for the vaccination. Wife and I will be going tomorrow morning. We are both in our 70's so that might have something to do with it.

I read that Texas is going to change the program next week to use large centralized locations for provding the vaccinations which I guess is like what Tarrant Co is doing now. That might help me and TBird get the shot since we have had difficulty. I did get on the list at Owl Drug in Coleman but they are pretty limited in allocation. Everyones input has been great.! People will then complain about the numbers of people they are exposed to at these centralized locations while waiting to get vaccine. Just watch. Dallas is talking drive through which could be fun if there is an acute allergic reaction. DWV-driving while vaccinated.

Worst program roll out I've witnessed in my lifetime. How many national pandemic immunization rollouts have you lived through? How many other vaccines require tge care these do. It will settle down and start rolling much better soon. Actually 2 Mark. How bout you?

This just in from the Texas Hospital Association:
Today, DSHS announced that the state will prioritize most of its 200,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses next week for large providers that indicated ability to vaccinate more than 100,000 people. Smaller providers across the state also will receive additional supplies. These “vaccine hubs” will serve as identifiable sites for priority populations and will provide a simpler way to sign up for vaccine appointments. The hubs will 1) vaccinate health care workers, people aged 65 and older, and those who have a condition that increases their risk of severe disease or death; 2) provide a registration phone number and website; and 3) focus on areas and populations hardest hit by COVID-19 while vaccinating people from surrounding areas. It is important to note that more doses will be available in the near future as the state will no longer be required to reserve doses for long-term care facilities after next week.
"If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." - Samuel Adams

I just read the same thing. Hope it works better than what's been done so far.

They were just like this one too huh? ....... ....I"m sure they just showed right up and vaccinated you on your doorstep within a month of the vaccine being approved. Speaking of those vaccines back then how quickly were they developed? It was the good old days and all... ....I'd rather try and educate myself about the virus, put in some efcort if needed to get the vaccine rather than complain like a vaccine Karen 24/7 about it. We literally have went from step 1 of this pandemic to multiple vaccines in less than a year. Anazing accomplishment. Most people realize there will be some issues initially to figure out on the rollout. It will be better soon.

Same old mess. Supposed to have MEGA Vaccination Site at Fair Park in Dallas- but Registration is LIMITED to residents of Dallas County. A lot of people under 1B sure are having a tough time getting in line for the Vaccination. I am on 2 lists and doubt they will work out!

Here is the info from the state to vaccine providers. Big, bold print that there are no residency requirements. I am sure its just Clay Jenkins being Clay Jenkins. https://www.dshs.state.tx.us/immunize/covid19/VaccineProviderBestPractices.pdf

Heard on the news that Biden is planning on sending all vaccines out, including the millions of doses held in reserves for the second dose.
The way it was presented, millions of folks will be able to the first but not the second. Also said this is not following the science which Biden said he would do.
