3. I got my second Moderna 3-30 with about a 20 minute line.

I scheduled both through the CVS website on 2-26, with the first on 3/2 and a 45 minute wait due to folks without appointments getting in line. I had received two email invites from Blue Ridge Health Department to schedule my vaccination, but they couldn't actually provide appointments.

I found a local appointment after 100s of hours of checking on the CVS site. They rarely have any appointments in this area and most people I know headed as far south as Danville to get appointments at CVS.

In the last week or so, several other pharmacies in the area have begun offering appointments, but all seem to be booked quickly. Since vaccine had been distributed on a population basis this area lags behind other districts for 1b due to the large number of medical workers and elderly. They are still trying to get the upper tiers of 1b category completed via the large sites they have set up.

Your experience sounds so much better than mine!
