So I guess it's official, Texas opening vaccine to all adults regardless of age or health status, and on 3/29 not 3/31.

Good news and movement in the correct direction.

this is great but I question if Texas has enough vaccine to do that unless of course a big shipment is coming in the next 2 weeks

If a state opens up vaccines, it's doesn't mean they have enough for all right now, it means they think the priority folks are already "done".  You still have to get an appointment, and they could be weeks off if you try, or not available at all.

You don't really want a mass shipment of vaccine needing special storage capacities.  But if everyone vulnerable is vaccinated, you can start on the rest.

With Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and Austin Im sure Texas can handle a large shipment of vaccine assuming it all doesnt go to one place

but again it appears to be a good news bad news story

good news vaccine given to all

bad news no vaccine right now so ya gotta wait

Yeah I wasn't trying to imply that the vaccine would be widely available, only that they're going to lift the restrictions on who can sign up for it, starting on 3/29.

To be clear, to date, there has not been a list I could even put my name on, because I don't meet any of the requirements for age, job, or underlying health conditions.  I'm not sure that all of the people that HAVE qualified, based on age or job or underlying health conditions, understand this-- most of the state's population hasn't been allowed to even make it past the splash page for vaccination signup,  to this point.  Because we don't meet the requirements outlined in groups 1A, 1B, or 1C.

But now they're getting very close to treating all of the 1A/1B/1C (who are willing to get the shot), and so they're going to open it up to the rest of the population that hasn't been eligible thus far.  I'd expect it to still be many weeks beyond that, before I'd be able to get stuck.

open it up, get as many needles in arms as possible

make sure the vaccine doses are used instead of limiting to some group that may have some hesitant to get the vaccine and have it go to waste

That's the plan here, now.  Still need more product and wider distribution.

Also the % splits have been wonky, far more distributed by population% to the rural areas of West Texas, and less to the major metros of Austin, SA, Dallas, and Houston.  I'm not sure what's going on there, my guess would be intra-state politicking or something, but I haven't delved into it very deeply since I'm not overly concerned about getting the shot in the first place.

We're planning a trip to Mexico in July, so I'd prefer to be fully vaccinated by mid June.  That's about all there is to my timetable.

open up Jerry World and run 10,000 per day through that place

They could, but it's in the middle of nowhere.  Highly inconvenient to both Dallas and Fort Worth.  I sure as heck wouldn't drive three hours roundtrip out of my way, through DFW traffic, plus whatever the wait time is in queue, to get the shot.

We'll see the numbers really pick up when it's easy to schedule at your nearby pharmacy or doctor's office, same as a flu shot.  That's what I'm waiting for.
