NJ has a statewide sign-up for getting the COVID vaccine. My county in NJ (Monmouth) also has a seperate site for signing up for the vaccine. The problem is that there are so many more people signing up than they have vaccines for, that people who are healthy and not over 65 (like me, I'm 62) won't be getting the vaccine for many months.
The good news (for me) is that my local hospital is also giving the vaccine, and since my wife is a nurse there, she was able to get me on the list. I got my first dose 2 days ago, and my second dose is scheduled in three weeks, on 2/16. FYI, I felt a little tired and achy yesterday, but no issues today.
My wife is doing COVID testing on Saturdays at her hospital, so being a front line worker, she was at the head of the line to get vaccinated. She's already had her second vaccine dose.
Finally, my idiot younger brother (60) and his wife (58) tested positive a couple of days ago. They were still going to the gym, and he thinks that's where they got it. He has two teenage daughters, and the younger daughter (she's got behavior problems) tested positive yesterday. They're keeping mostly isolated (he says) and they don't have any serious symptoms so far. He's a smoker, so he's at higher risk, but so far they seem to be doing ok.
