I know of people who drove to NY from out of state to get vaccinated. Think were age eligible there but not in MA. Given they were 65+ Im not sure that I care.
I am assuming that the next two months will probably be some of the hardest mentally for me. Thanks to some preexisting conditions I should be āeligibleā starting on March 1st. But āeligibleā only means that I get to play the internet registration lottery with hundreds of thousands of other newly eligible DC residents. They only post appointments one week at a time, so if the appointments fill up before I can get one the first week, Iāll have to rinse and repeat every week until I get lucky. Feels like the biggest one time of my life so far.

Too kind, thank you.
I may have found an alternate way. Out of the blue, a company in Illinois contacted me and contracted me to fill in a role for 3-4 months (at my full con$ulting rate). Its fermentation related to food production and sounds like if I canāt get it here in PA by the time they need me to come to Chicago later in March, I could get it there as a āfood production workerā.

Wow, it doesnāt matter what the official rules say, so you should feel no ethical dilemma. Its horrible how we have treated the incarcerated and the prison workers. You getting it is a good necessary thing.
The place that had the clinic today is a low-income community medical clinic. Iām going to donate to them to offset my ethical dilemma.
I did talk to the most moral and ethic person I know and she said it was okay for me to get it. Sheās the one that I would expect would give me a ration of guilt if it wasnāt okay.

Tattoos.
Gotcha. tiny tatts on the ends of fingers, otherside of the nail.
Surely any half decent user manual covers not having the finger end dipped in mud when this $30 chinese shipped pulse guestimator does itās business (great though they are)

In Fulton County GA you can now register for the vaccine by simply āVerifyingā that youāre over 65, a caregiver, or a first responder etc.
Iāll give you nail polish - if i have bad hypoxia or shock Iām not instareaching for my oximeter
I think I had to provide information to prove residency but I donāt remember.
They actually linked me to my medical records at a hospital portal which is how I manage my appointment now and I didnāt give them anything specific like that.
Took the wife to get her first dose today. They did not verify her eligibility in any way. Pretty quick efficient process, I was pleasantly surprised.
