Don't know if they have more pull. My 80 year old Aunt has been on a waiting list for the vaccine in San Antonio and Kendall County for over a month. Spoke with a lawyer and she got her an apt for tomorrow. Didn't ask how she did it and we were not charged. May be an avenue to pursue?

Aren't lawyers like 4-F on the rating scale though?

In talking with sources connected to Meyer's family on Sunday, there was laughter about the persistence of the Texas pursuit.

I may be biased, but I think the last thing we need right now is adding legal challenges and additional bureaucracy to the vaccine rollout.

Some people just have connections.

My lawyer is overweight and has high blood pressure. That qualified him as 1B. Got his first shot on February 6th. Where there's a will. There's a way!

If it is a small county like Kendall County then the county is probably doling out the vaccines and your aunt's attorney called the county attorney, who found a spot for her. Its connections.

CVS had a dozens of openings for shots next week in San Marcos available to book earlier today. They're full now, but there are some available in Temple. It seems to be getting easier to book a shot.

I've helped 14 elderly people get a shot. I have no pull, I just have learned how to work the system.

And no, it's not easy. It's insanely hard and a stupid system.

There should be one place for everybody to sign up. They should do a lottery from that one pool of enrollees to give you the ability to sign up for appointments based on your risk/essential score. You should be able to make appointments anywhere shots are given. They should go out into places with hard to risk people (retirement communities, poor areas, etc) and recruit them to sign up for the waiting list.

I don't know, this hunger games style appointment system of needing to sign up within 5 minutes of a push notification is absolutely ridiculous and embarassing.

Being a lawyer, in and of itself, doesn't give us any pull on vaccines. But some of us have friends and clients in the health care industry which have been useful.

Maybe they should learn from the game and fish dept. they hand out limited numbers of license each year to multiple different groups all at the same time.
Resident = at risk ( get more doses allocated to this group)
Non resident = low risk ( less allocated)
Guided = doctor must put you on the list. ( less than at risk more than less at risk)

Units = location of vaccine given
Species = brand of vaccine

Loyalty points = distribution events that you have not been selected thus each time you don't get selected you get an extra name in the hat. Some give the tags to the highest loyalty point holders first until there are more people at that point total than tags available then it is a lotto for the people at that point total. That way the people that have been waiting the longest get in sooner

I don't know the system works right now. It might been even easier than the western draw hunt systems. But if it had been thought out in advance this program could have been adjust to give out "tags" for vaccines.

not sure how anyone gets an HEB appointment. It'll show 20+ slots available, click and "no appointments availalble." I'll sit and refresh the specific site page for a while and MIGHT get lucky to get a "select your date and time" option. Select that and try to move to the next page and it says "no appointments available." I've even randomly tried cities 5 hours a way and same result(s). I've spent 2 weeks trying to help get appointments for my parents.

I did it early this morning so I am guessing they had cancelations.

It takes persistence and a little luck. I've scheduled 10 people through H-E-B. If you'd like some help, post an email and I will get in touch.

not sure what happened on that last post.

appreciate the offer to help. Maybe the vaccine gods just smiled on me, but I was FINALLY able to get a spot with HEB.

And where there's not, it's called intestate.
