| I’m surprised at all the responses with people having gotten the vaccine already. CA is truly three hours behind the times. | |

| I'm 72, which made me eligible. However, where I live (near Chicago in Cook County) it's harder to get a vaccination appointment than it was to get a standing room ticket for Hamilton on Broadway. Fortunately for me, my doctor's practice is in a rural area of Illinois about an hour from where I live so I had no problem. So far my partner (who is younger than I am) can't get a straight answer from anyone about getting vaccinated. |

| It is free but I guess the drug store has to run it through the register to keep track (kind of like a prescription with $0 copay still gets you a receipt). As I understand it, if you have insurance, the drug store can bill a dispensing fee (which is small), but if you don't have insurance, it's covered by the state (at least in NY). | |

| The store receipt shows the RX number for the vaccine and the price of 0.00. It also says "your insurance saved you $2.59. | |

| I assume that is the dispensing fee. I also assume the drug store is getting some compensation from the govt beyond that. On a semi-unrelated note, I read (maybe in a tweet from our fallen-star governor) that 12 million New Yorkers are currently eligible for the vaccine. That's interesting for a couple of reasons. First, it reflects how many eligible people have not been vaccinated yet, and second it means that there are only about 3-4 million more adults to be come eligible. I think I also read that another wave of eligibles are coming online soon. |
