Opinion: ‘Please help’ – 20 stories of Americans trying to get the Covid-19 vaccine

CNN  

CNN — “It’s a black hole.” That’s how one reader described the process of trying to sign her elderly parents up to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. As Brenda Kotewa of Bellingham, Washington, put it, so many Americans are left “wondering if we’ll get the vaccine or the virus first.” According to Steve from Maryland, he and his wife are in group 1B, but even though the state has moved on to group 1C, when he tries to get an appointment “there is nothing within a 50-mile radius. Disheartening.” Kotewa and Steve are two of nearly 1,400 readers who shared stories with us about efforts to get vaccinated, writing candidly about everything from waking up at dawn to try to secure a spot in that day’s vaccine allotment to having appointments canceled at the last minute. I’m sure it is hard to determine the best approach because everyone needs the vaccine, but as the clock is ticking, a huge group of people with disabilities who are able to live independently with some assistance – sometimes forgoing the assistance to keep ourselves safe – are left wondering if we’ll get the vaccine or the virus first.
