hermionesviolinMA adjusted their guidelines again, so as of Monday of this week, a BMI over 25 (i.e., "overweight") gets you eligible. (If you already pre-registered for a mass vaccine site, though, you can't edit what you said to indicate your change in eligibility status. Sigh.)
It still feels super like lying to me to say "Yes" to "I hereby attest under the penalties of perjury to the best of my knowledge and belief that I have 1 or more of the medical conditions specified by Massachusetts that put me at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19," though -- even though technically I know it isn't.
Anyway, I haven't been super aggressive about trying to get myself an appointment -- both because CVS appointments drop at midnight; and also because we still have classes for a few more weeks, so I don't feel like I can actually take an appointment at any date/time anywhere in the area. This is apparently only causing Thom a little bit of stress 😂
But Thom got shot #1 today, her older kid gets shot #1 tomorrow, and Colleen gets shot #1 the day after that. And my housemate's partner gets his first shot next week.

As incentive, howerver, even though D^2 both got first shots this week, because the kids can't get vaccinated they're likely restricting in-person contact to other vaccinated adults. So getting to meet them is almost certainly a post-vaccination event.
