This week. Expecting more soon.

Bell County, which I suppose in a medium sized county, has been a cluster too.

I heard Jenkins hinting at that moronic zip code idea in the same interview that he explained their website "hack" idiocy. It's an appalling idea to exclude citizens based on where they live and I'm glad the state bich-slapped these clowns.

He abstained vs voting against, so while he may have been against it in principle, he was not quite enough to formally log his opposition

Guess who they wanted to exclude.

We live in Denton County, where my wife is a school nurse. She's been unable to get a vaccine, despite being categorized as 1A. She started trying to sign up in Denton County (which just had a phone registration system they would open for brief windows then close as they ran out of slots), then when that failed she subsequently registered in Dallas, Tarrant, and then with a couple of other organizations.

It's frustrating to no end to hear of acquaintances who get a call inviting them to show up to get their vaccine at Southwestern or other locations, just because they happen to be a patient of a doctor there. Because she tried to follow the process in our county, she's at the bottom of the list behind the rest of 1B, which includes everyone over age 65 and everyone over age 16 with a chronic condition.

I go to Fair Park every weekday morning. This week, Tuesday and Wednesday - crazy lines all the way back up Cullum past Fitzhugh and down Fitzhugh quite away (The corner where Starplex is). This morning - no line at all. They had already moved the cars they had into Fair Park through gate 5. It appeared there were fewer cars in the lot, leading me to think there may have been fewer appointments and fewer vaccines today. The number of slots per day looks like it may vary.

If I was in 1a or 1b or had a relative who was, I would register through Dallas County. I know folks from Kaufman and Ellis counties who have done that and a couple have already received their first vaccine.

My wife's a middle school nurse (1200 kids) and had no luck through Tarrant County. She finally got it last week because a local doctor's office offered it to all the school nurses in the district.

Still strange to see who they choose and don't. Both of my in-laws have chronic conditions and registered the same day - one got it last week and the other is still waiting. Yet I know healthy folks in their 30s with just asthma who got it 2 weeks ago.

I registered w/Dls Cty before they announced the Fair Park site. I am in the first 100k group & I have been patiently waiting to be notified. I also registered w/UTSW. Their current guidelines are you must be registered w/My Chart, you must have seen a UTSW within the last 3 yrs, & you must be 1A or 1B. I got an appt 5 days after registering for a vaccine. I went to Market Hall tonight. The whole process was 30 min total. I am in the 1B group so while I was there I asked if they were giving vaccines to caregivers. Hubs is a current patient at UTSW but they would not vaccinate him tonight. I sure hope none of those Pfizer vaccines went in the trash tonight since there were caregivers there that would have gladly accepted the shot. Good luck everybody!

I registered for the vaccine several weeks ago with Dallas County Health. On Monday (2/1) at 5:00pm I received an email telling me my first shot was the next day. I showed up at fair park 45 minutes before my appointment time. The entire process was breeze.

No line to get into fair park.
Ten minutes sitting in vehicle filling out paperwork they gave me.
When finished with the paperwork, I hopped on a golf cart for a ride to the vaccine building.
At the door, they took my temperature and told me which row to sit.
Guy came by and gave me my vaccination card Andy a few more instructions.
I sat for maybe five minutes when my part of the row was asked to move forward. A few minutes later, I received my shot.
I then went to the observation room for 15 minutes.
Afterwards, I walked outside, got on another golf cart for a ride to my pickup.
The entire process, including the observation room took less than 40 minutes.
It was a good experience.

Note, effective today, they changed the system so it that will not allow anyone without a reservation into the park.
I say this because no one checked my paperwork to see if I had a reservation or was there at the correct time.

Additionally, I had no major side effects from the shot.

Thanks for the feedback. Just curious, when did you register and what was your classification (1a or 1b)?

Trying to figure out how close wife is getting.

Thanks! Wife falls in 1b and registered early last week. Hopefully a few more weeks till her turn.

I'll admit I'm a light, but legit, 1B, but I registered early and still nada.

If Dallas County, reregister. They have had numerous problems with their system.

In the counties I've researched (Dallas, Tarrant, Denton) 1a vs 1b didn't matter - they all just go straight down the list. And, it seems none of the county registration systems care where you live, so you can sign up for several, then go to the first one that pops up.

Yeah, she has signed up multiple counties and waitlists. Was interested in how long his wait was.
