New Resource for finding a vaccine appointment

    The Maryland Vaccine Finders Facebook group has become so popular (57,000 and growing) that they have changed some of their posting rules.   They were overwhelmed with postings about where appointments were available and have now encouraged people to use a spreadsheet that they have developed to find an appointment.  #hocoblogs

P.S.

     For those under 65 looking for an appointment, Pennsylvania has appointments for persons 18-64 with the following conditions.  Not sure how they check on any of these conditions like obesity or smoking.  Maybe you could have someone blow cigarette smoke on you before your appointment! Rite Aid pharmacies right over the state line are giving appointments to Maryland residents.
