Richard Paiva, a 71-year-old retired advertising man from DeLand, Florida, and his 66-year-old wife, Aida, were determined to get one of the 1,000 vaccines given out on Jan. 4 at a football stadium in nearby Daytona Beach. They’d considered camping out until area officials specifically told people not to do that.
More shots were offered the next day, but the Paivas didn't go. They didn't trust that the same thing wouldn't happen. Still, they will eventually try again. After he drove to his local grocery store pharmacy to check for the shots, he was told they were out and to check in next week. He was also told that his grandmother would have to register online for her shot. But his grandmother can't read or write English and is barely literate in Spanish.
By late December, Texas seniors 65 and older, as well as people with qualifying disabilities, were eligible for COVID-19 vaccines. But medical professionals were still trying to get shots to front-line workers, which included Dean’s five paid caretakers. After hearing that the attendant for a friend's child had gotten the shot, Kearns started her mission to snatch up some of those vaccines.
It's running smoothly in many, many states. It shouldn't be up to the government to distribute vaccines. They get delivered to where they need to and coordinated vaccine clinics are set up. There are dates of distribution for specific groups and those interested sign up.
