I don't get it. Yesterday the mayor of our city sent out an email detailing how many people have gotten it, broken out by age: Residents who are partially or fully vaccinated include 95%+ of those who are 75 years old or more, 95%+ of those 65-74 years old, 81% who are 50-64 years old, 65% who are 30-49 years old, 38% that are 20-29 years old, and 8% who are 0-19 years old. My wife and I are in our 50s. We signed up for the state registration system, we got email updates from our healthcare providers (affiliated with one of the major Boston medical centers) stating that we are eligible ... but no notifications of when we can actually go somewhere to get the jabs.

There's definitely not a great way to see all of your options. I was able to through my county's program, but there is also a city driven program, options at CVS, private practice doctors, clinics, and so on. None of them seemed to be aware of each other. My spouse was notified by the hospital that her primary care physician practices at, and got her vaccinations that way. My son drove to a rural town, where there's a larger "not interested" crowd, and was able to get both shots in a walk-up fashion with no appointment.

In my state I was advised to call Pharmacies at the end of they day to see if they had extra doses that would otherwise spoil. Perhaps you could try the same if you are concerned about how long the authorities are taking?

  This is exactly what I did. I added myself to an extra or expiring dose list a month ago and they had me in a few days later with an extra dose.

If you are eligible your provider should be able to give you the shot. They likely have a sign up on there website or health portal for you and you wife. Here in NorCal, PAMF has a simple sign up. Not going to link to it has I do not want it to get hugged to death :)

Don't rely exclusively on Massachusetts letting you know. Check with your county's and city's health departments, and every major pharmacy chain in your area for appointments. The federal and state resources are: https://vaccinefinder.org https://vaccinefinder.org https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-vaccination-locations#vaccination-location-types- https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-vaccination-locat...

  Thanks. We were able to book an appointment for my wife at a clinic for educators that is accepting non-educators ... but I got bounced from the screening app because it hasn't been updated for the latest eligible age ranges yet (she's older than me).
