Yep! I got it at kroger. They were supposed to be having shots from 10-2, but I decided to show up early just in case. I left here at 8:45 and got there about 9. When I got in line, there were already 200 people ahead of me! I was the very last person to get the shot. They ran out on me and gave me the last one! They counted back in line and told me that I was last and told everyone after me to sign up on a waiting list in case they got another shipment in a couple of weeks. So they weren't even supposed to start giving them until 10, but they ran out at 9!! I didn't get mine until 1:30, and got home at 2.

Yeah everybody had chairs. The other 200 people there were in the "over 65" category, so some of them needed the chairs more than me!

I heard that the flu vaccine is so scarce that they are prioritizing people who should get it.. Like people who it would devastate more.. Aids patients, elderly and children are first in line obviously.
