Despite huge supply in the US, I’m hearing from people in many states that it’s not easy for the elderly to get a booster appointment now. Many places are full, apparently for weeks. I can’t confirm all the reports but seems important to look into? Especially outside few cities.https://twitter.com/NathanStall/status/1470181442273558528 …

atlantic triangle @atlantictrianglReplying to @zeynepSame issue with shots for the little ones in NJ. Friend of mine got their kids their first dose, but because they were sick (non-covid) they had to delay the second shot. As of a few days ago, they couldn't get an appointment until 12/23 at the earliest7 replies 1 retweet 47 likesShow this thread -

This isn’t good! This is essentially a question of delivery, not supply. And the elderly are least likely to be able to hustle like this, but most vulnerable and in need of a booster before holidays.https://twitter.com/smithaprasadh/status/1470207769957568512 …

(on semi-hiatus) @smithaprasadhReplying to @jeffbigham @zeynepEast Liberty Target CVS had to cancel my booster appt for yesterday because they ran out and wouldn’t have more until midweek at the earliest. I opted to drive an hour each way, almost to WV, for the closest same-day shot I could find.4 replies 11 retweets 79 likesShow this thread -

Seems to be the case in many places. Booster by appointment seem to be pretty hard to come by for weeks or more. This isn’t good. Again, the elderly need these shots most and are least likely to manage the hustle required to make something happen.https://twitter.com/angiewindheim/status/1470244135369990144 …

Boosters were easy to get before Thanksgiving. Omicron changed that. Seniors have been eligible for boosters for a couple of months.

Replying to @kevinchawkins @zeynep
All the seniors I know got their boosters in early October with no delay whatsoever.
