Eventually but I'm in no rush. Georgia is really slow and I'm very low risk.

Hopefully I can get it mid-year. But more likely I'll have to wait until the end of the year given how the rollout is going.......

How have so many Americans had their first shot? I wouldn't have thought that most of you would've been eligible.

Many states currently have or are about to have universal eligibility for all adults.  Tennessee is officially going there on April 5th, but some counties did this week.  I was able to get mine last week because I'm technically obese according to BMI, which is what they use (as flawed as it is for tall men).  Now, I'm not really sure that a 6'5", 270 pound guy (BMI of 32) in his mid 20s should have been prioritized, but, whatever.

Many people on Atlas are either not at all in good shape, or they are essential workers. We also have a few olds.

There are lots of other loopholes and special dispensations too.  E.g., in some places you can get a shot if you volunteer at the place giving the shots.  And then my Mom got her vaccination because she works for a health care company....even though she works as an accountant rather than as a front line worker.

Also, it probably doesn't hurt that - overall - vaccination is one of the few things that we as America actually didn't really f**k up in any significant way, especially compared to much of the rest of the world, incl. Canada & Europe sans the U.K.

Yeah, I’ve been surprised at how many young Americans on Atlas have had the vaccine. In the UK, we’ve vaccinated a higher % of our population than the US, but I don’t think I know of anyone under the age of 50 who’s not a healthcare worker or not extremely clinically vulnerable who’s had a shot.

North Dakota opened it up to any adult with at least one "underlying condition" a couple weeks ago. So basically if you're an adult who is mildly overweight or working even if at home (aka "essential worker"), you qualify. Of course I'm not a legal ND resident but I can count my parents' place as a "secondary residence" which makes me eligible.

Even that's only until the weekend. As of Monday ND will open the vaccine to everyone 16 and over with no stipulations.

Also some municipalities in the US are giving away the vaccine on a first come first serve basis to anyone who comes in for it because they have an excess amount and if any is set to expire soon. Even setting up email and text notifications for this, things like "We can get five people in at *location* before *time*" and the first to reply and show up get it.

Yeah PA is opening it up too, slowly.  But you're going to have to try hard to find it.

Had the damn virus in December (awful) so I'm not trying hard, but our work will be giving them out through the health center and will be giving two hours to get it (since most people are still remote) and if you need time off if there are any issues you don't have the use PTO. So I'll try and schedule soon.

As of Monday every member of my immediate family has received at least one dose of the vaccine. My middle brother got it Monday.

My youngest brother still wouldn't be eligible in Minnesota (where he's still located) but has received two doses already because he works as an HVAC tech at a tribal casino...thus qualifying him to receive it from the tribe which manages their own distribution.

I wonder if Our Dear Friend got his vaccine from a tribe since he is 1/32nd American Indian

Funny, at least considering how BRTD is one of the whitest individuals I have ever witnessed.

I'm not really in a hurry for it since I'm low risk and don't know when I'll react to it. I'll get it when it becomes common and easy to access.

You apparently don't speak Grumps-ese.  "Our Dear Friend" is this distinguished individual:
