We saw on Facebook last night that you could get a voucher for the vaccine at our local city building starting at 8:00am Thursday. So, this morning, we were up at OMG:30 to see what was going on there. We agreed in advance that we would not stand in line for hours, hopeful that we'd be able to get a voucher from our car.
Nope. There were people standing in line in front of the city building. NO social distancing, and some of the people without masks. Total shit-show. No dissemination of information ahead of time other than the time. We drove on by.
Joan suggested that we go to the city building on South Padre Island, as they were doing the same. When we got there, there were two cars ahead of us in line and several police officers giving out information. We we got to the police officer, he gave us a Q-code to scan and we could register on-line. He thought that someone would be contacting us later today to give us more information. Pretty much the opposite of the situation in Port Isabel.
We are trying to be pro-active regarding the vaccinations, but we are not willing to expose ourselves to the virus by standing in line for hours with a crowd of people. Steph and Dan registered on-line and were able to go to a mass vaccination site run in an orderly fashion in Arizona. Here, it is one line after another, with no info given out ahead of time, and no guarantee that standing in line for hours will get you a voucher, much less a vaccination.
We're ready. We are now on several lists (valley-wide, county, state, and local), so it isn't like we aren't trying.
