How are NYers without preexisting conditions getting the vaccine? Are people showing up at the end of the day and hoping there are shots left? Where are y’all going to try?

We’re waiting our turn......

Waiting when it’s my time. Let the people that are priority get it - don’t be a blank.

My intention was to wait my turn, but I keep hearing stories of people getting the extras that would otherwise go to waste. I’m not going to try to jump my spot in line, but if it’s going to be wasted... what’s the harm?

This was more common during the early roll of phases but not anymore. I was talking to one of the National Guard members at Javits and he mentioned they have a wait list of eligible people who are unable to make an appointment. If they're unable to reach those on the wait list, the unused and leftover vaccines get distributed to nearby clinics and centers.

Yes, you can go to a pharmacy end of the day and if there are doses left, they will give it to you rather than throwing it away. A few of my friends did this and I am also starting stopping by each day at the pharmacy around the corner to try to get one. It is not stealing from anyone. It’s s actually ensuring nothing is going to waste.

Are they nice about it? Ive tried a couple of times and you’d think I was asking them for their personal dose of vaccine. Gotten many eye rolls and exasperated conversations smh

The system is still broken where it’s pretty much a case by case basis who each pharmacy or site gives their leftover vaccines to. Also seeing a lot of people with pre-existing conditions make appointments and you don’t need a doctors note.

Thanks, all! Not trying to cheat the system in any way - just figured if the CVS half a block from me has extras and there’s no state block on it, might as well ask!

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through.

I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

In confidence she told me she can often smell alcohol. How can I help? I feel helpless. I’ve already lost someone to addiction and I can’t ignore this. Any advice?
