Just got none listening to the latest on what grouping of people will be getting the vaccine:

1. After people in nursing homes and front line Dr/nurses, etc.

2. People over 75

3. People/children 16-64

I'm 71!! I guess people 65-74 are on their own! And children under 16.

😂 Isn’t it mad! Surely you must come in group number 4...unless that’s the 65-70s.

They may have misspoke, I would assume that front line people and nursing home residents are first, then 65 and up and/or people with a high risk condition would be next. I'm 71 and have bronchiectasis and asthma. I also have an immune issue that I go to outpatient infusion once a month for an IV. So I would be high risk.

Perhaps check on your usa.gov site Beth for full list of priority

I'll do that, also in a month or two, I'll call my pulmonary or my immunologist specialist and see when the vaccine would be available to me.

Good Luck, I'll be lucky to get a vaccine by February, could even be longer.
