Last December I was in vaccine phase 1B, but then in January I got bumped to 1C after they invented 1C.
Then in February I realized I forgot to get an organ transplant. If I took the same immune-suppressant drugs because of an organ transplant, I would move up in line. I suppose organ transplant donees start with a normal immune system that is cut in half, while my auto-immune gave me a 110% immune system. So that mine, cut in half, is still better than theirs.
So in early March, I registered with another site that asked me if I was immunocompromised due to an organ transplant, and then asked later if I was immunocompromised for some other reason, and I thought, cool, I might bump up now. Nope, they put me in Phase 2. Another bump down. Luckily they asked if I was in the financial services field: I think that’s the only thing saving me from Phase 3.
Last night I heard that one local vaccine venue had lines stretching from one major highway to another.
Today I woke up to the news that starting on April 9, three weeks from now, everyone in Missouri is eligible for a shot, and my phase, Phase 2, starts March 29. I mean I’m happy for us all, but also sad to realize how much I wanted to social-climb my way up through our new vaccine class system.
