I know they are just starting to test on teenagers around here.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
One of Dillo’s friends is in the Cincinnati trial for 12-18. We tried to get in but they were full, but then they called me asking if I had any children 11 or younger, so they are going to start child trials soon.
Pfizer is currently authorized for ages 16 and up, with Moderna and the one-shot Johnson & Johnson for 18 and up.
The word here in MA, and maybe elsewhere as well?, is to go directly to the CVS site early in the morning.
Thank you for the tip, Jesse, because I've had no luck. Did your mom get her vaccine?
Yeah, I'm sure they're working on children's trials--you could check clinicaltrials.gov if you wanted to see if there's any enrolling near you.
This whole rollout is crazy--and it feels like Washington is really slow, which is inexplicable. We're usually pretty good? We have techies? We have amazon? C'mon guys! Even with the recent updates, it's still only down to like "people with multiple comorbidities on the list" (not just one) at the end of April??
I am hoping that the big vaccine clinic at the football stadium will help. I signed up to volunteer there next Saturday.
Thank you for the tip, Jesse, because I've had no luck. Did your mom get her vaccine?
Yep! Second dose a week from Monday!
Such an empty Natter!
Matilda has been slowly climbing out of her lockdown induced depression. Between the weekly jewelry class with Parks and Rec, and her recent (month ago) decision to start running before Zoom School every morning she's finding enough things to provide some buoyancy. And she's gotten one of her two bubble friends, Iris, to run with her twice a week, which makes Iris's mom thrilled.
So, it's just good to hear Matilda busting out in hearty guffaws as she watches incessant anime and forcing me to watch never ending TikTok memes about said animes. I do not begrudge one instant that I'm driving her to Japantown on Fridays to spend her babysitting money.
Jesse, I'm so glad your mom gotten her first shot. I felt so relieved when mine started.
Do you (or does anyone in Mass./or who's booked through CVS) have any idea of what time people mean by "early"?
I tried at 6:00am, today, but had no luck. It could be that they don't update on Sunday. It could be that I should have tried at 5:00am. It could be that I should be trying at 7:00, when I was sitting here trying to decide if I should ask.
Hec, I'm glad to hear Matilda is finding some light.
I'm so glad to hear that Buffistas are getting vaxed up. R, my roommate, has an appointment through MIT Medical for March 28th. (This is someone 65yo, with several serious comorbidities.)
My toe in the water of The After Times has been to go to a thrift store. They don't actually let you try on the clothes.
My MA info is CVS, 6am every day. But maybe not Sundays?
I tried CVS again yesterday, but they still aren't accepting comorbidities in Virginia. Ah, well. The county has moved to scheduling 1/19 finally. I'm 1/22.
We made corned beef the other night, and I made hash yesterday, and today were having a corned beef hash omelet, and it is so good.
