Vaccine waiting list (healthcare, statistics, school, county)

[PullMyFinger]

We signed my wife’s mother up on the waiting list. She’s 82 years old and has multiple health issues like many people her age.

Amazing they aren’t interested in her health issues but they are very interested in what race she is and what gender she identifies with.

Strange times in America.

I signed up to be on the wait list. I'm not old enough to be 1B, but wanted to get my foot in the door.

The demographics questions they asked had an asterisk - "prefer not to answer".

They're keeping statistics, not triaging by race and gender.

And I had to say whether I had underlying health conditions. Very surprising your experience was so different.

It wasn't. Just another right winger with a persecution complex. It's like a broken record, if you remember them. Boo hoo hoo.

Ours (Wake County, NC) simply asks age, if you're in a specific field (i.e. healthcare) name and contact info.

Why should "they" be interested in her health issues - she's already in a priority class due to age.

Are y'all not in 1B? 1B is over 65, and under 65 with health issues. So when you sign up here, you list your birthdate but then go on to check the box of your health issues, if any, that would put you in 1B status although you don't meet the age requirement.

Depends on where you live. In my state health issues doesn't move you to the front of the line. It's 65+. There are nowhere near enough shots to do all the people with health issues (about half the US population qualifies) and no way to confirm that they actually have such conditions as they claim.

We are in 1B but for us the 16-65 with health issues comes in Phase 2. My initial point, though, is that the major issue is age and that the OP's MIL meets the requirement so regardless of statistical questions...I don't know what the OP's particular concern is.

The Teachers Union has pushed many with health issues out of sequence.

I've had it. Don't need it.

Having said that, I do some sub teaching, and the school is offering it. Not sure if I'll do it or not.

I am 70 and was telephoned by the local pharmacy I use asking if I wanted to be on their waiting list. I said I did and they sent me a text with about 10 questions concerning my age, ethnicity and overall health. Contrary to what appears to be the norm, I found no reason to either applaud, or be critical, of a presidential administration, past or present.
