If the UK’s vaccine rollout stays on track, I should hopefully be offered my first shot by the end of July. As I’ve already mentioned, I’m a bit perplexed as to how so many young Americans on Atlas have already got the vaccine; in fact, considering that the US’s percentage vaccinated is lower than the UK’s, it leaves me a bit worried that older Americans are missing out.
Yes, it hasn't exactly been rolled out in a fair manner. I'm getting sick of hearing of all the healthy 20 year olds who already got their second shot.
Not saying it's the case for all of them, but there certainly are many people in their 20s (or even 30s) that have health issues that qualify them for getting the vaccine sooner, or they work in places where they are in close contact with the public.
Also, there are probably a lot of anti-vaxxers that don't want to be bothered in the US. South Carolina opened theirs to everyone starting tomorrow because we have a good supply and no one seems terribly interested in getting the shot.
It took me 5 minutes to get mine today, although I qualified because I've been going into work around people since last May. There were plenty of openings at pharmacies and at the medical university.
