In the Netherlands you can get a Dumpster Vaccine.
When vaccines are left over some of the vaccination centers and doctors put them on a website and you can sign up to get a jab until they expire.
The service is quite popular, one of my friends tried to get one but they were all out before it was his turn.
Leftover doses were a thing here, too. I was trying to get one that way before I was eligible but they decided who got them solely on age and there were always people 60+ that would show up.
My kids have all kinds of other things they’re attending to, but I should consider that as a possible plan. My wife is getting vaccinated as a healthcare professional this month. She has also petitioned the public health board on my behalf, telling them of my comorbidity problems and that if an American catches this and dies on their watch it will reflect poorly on them. Few things are greater motivators to a Japanese person.
It seems like the Japanese government is finally getting motivated to ramp up vaccinations. I have no idea how they thought they could do nothing during this, all the while promoting the Olympics. They look like idiots. Now I am seeing plans to have pharmacies and dentists admitted the vaccination, and a big spike in newly administered doses. I’m feeling some hope, but I still want to slap politicians.
If I am unable to get vaccinated by the first week of July, I will likely fly in its 2nd half.
I have seen the numbers on Idaho, and it’s not great.
