Success! When I waked this morning I had a message from my friend Holley that the Broward County Health Department website for reservations for Covid vaccination was now on line. As soon as I got the coffee made, I sat down and registered. At first, it had me select a date and later in the process told me the date was unavailable. The first available date was this Tuesday. I started again and decided to try for Friday around 10am. Perhaps they will have the bugs out of the process by then. I was able to register and get a confirmation.
Apparently the site was on line at 6:21 am after being down for three days. I just made it around 7:30 am because the site crashed again at 9 am. Then again 9:46 am. As of this writing (2:56 pm) the site is still down.
There were several city and county parks listed where you could get the vaccination. I was fortunate to get the one closest to me at Central Regional Park in Lauderhill – all of 12 minutes from me by car.
Still to be determined is how you go about getting the second dose. The vaccine to be administered is the Pfizer vaccine and I need the booster in 21 days January 8th. There is no where on the BCHD site that indicates how you are to schedule the second shot. Perhaps they’ll let us know when we get the first dose. There is a possibility they have not received enough vaccine as yet to administer the second dose.
The rest of the morning was spent notifying friends via iMessage and answering questions. One friend got registered but received no confirmation – she later found it in her junk folder. Another friend got his partner registered and confirmed but could not get his. As a result, he and his partner will have to visit two separate sites about an hour apart in schedule time. That should be interesting. By the time one set of friends got their confirmation, it was for January 20th. I heard via text messages from friends that now BCHD is now scheduled all the way into February (this from 3 hours on line availability).

The BCHD is not too forthcoming with the details. In any case, you have to hang around (anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on who you read) to see if you have any allergic reactions. I saw one statement that you would have to wait 15 minutes and if you had a reaction, to call 911. I can envision people thinking they are having a reaction and flooding 911 with calls after getting the vaccine.
One person quoted in the Sun-Sentinel asked how is it in 2021 you can order a pizza online and have it delivered 30 minutes later but you can’t get a life saving vaccination?
In other top news, the Washington Post has a recording of The Donald begging, pleading, bullying, and threatening the Georgia Secretary of State to overturn the election in Georgia. The President sounds pretty derranged in the recording and Raffensperger was adamant that Trump was wrong and being mislead. Even if Raffensperger did overturn the election, it would still not be enough to swing the election to Trump. We also have Gomert of Texas saying the only recourse seems to be protests and armed militia in the streets. It seems we are Weimar Republic territory here.
Speaking of Weimar Republic, my song recommendation is “Tomorrow Belongs to Me” from the complete score of Cabaret. In the movie, Sally Bowles (Liza Minelli) Brian Roberts (Michael York) and Maximilian von Heune (Helmut Griem) are returning to Berlin after a stay in Max’s country home (read that as castle). They stop at a beer garden and German Youth stop by and begin to sing “Tomorrow Belongs to Me.” The song was actually written for Broadway and is not a part of Germany’s repertoire nor part of the German Youth movement. Indeed, it was written by Fred Ebb and John Kander – both Jewish. At the end, the three leave and Brian turns to Max and asks “You still think you can control them?” Personally, I’m not so sure any more. The Republican party will do anything to stay in power.
Stay tuned and stay safe!
