I am so privileged to have been vaccinated today. We are so privileged by science to have it available. With two 9/11 cancers, one 9/11 heart condition & a history of respiratory issues, I am a festival of preexisting conditions & a mark for this virus. I am relieved and grateful

I wish for a more equitable process of vaccination, which would require the state to prioritize based on vulnerability. They didn't gather that data beyond the obvious: age + a list of preexisting conditions. But I am glad many people are getting the shot. The more, the better!

I just happened into one vaccination site's schedule yesterday, found appointments, and grabbed one. Minutes later, they were all gone. It's so random still. I hope it won't be difficult to get my second shot on time.

In the event, the Middlesex County, NJ, health officials ran a very well-organized operation: from standing in line to getting the shot was just a half-hour.
The line around me was predominately white, which is a huge problem on so many levels.
