Hi Nancy!

Thought of this earlier but figured I'd wait to where it comes up in the
discussions.  Monday night get a call at 7:54 (so 8:54 East Coast time --
a bit late for a business call) "Hy-Vee Food Store" and what seems to be 
the correct telephone number comes up on the Caller ID.  Not expecting a
call from them; have received which is why the Caller ID display doesn't
look wrong, just the lateness is a bit of a flag.  

Semi-cautiously answer, somewhat recognize the voice and with the rest 
of the initial conversation verify it it one of the pharmacists: my 
Shingrex is in and so can have the shot when I come in Thursday morning 
(tomorrow as I type this).  So will find out the where and about 
follow-up.


 NB>>> Exactly... I've actually experienced a friend or two in the throes of
 NB>>> it, so know I don't want to get it... and as well, may already have
 NB>>> had a mild sub-acute case that left me with the neuralgia in my
 NB>>> back... certainly don't want a full-blown case....
 BM>> Definitely not!!  ...I didn't ask at the Pharmacy yesterday: they were
 BM>> busier than usual and had a bit of line, plus I had inquired two or
 BM>> three weeks ago and the supply probably hasn't changed.
 NB>> And theoretically, your store still has an active waiting list on
 NB>> which you are supposedly still on, so they should be getting back to
 NB>> you when they can give you the shot...  ;)
 BM> Yes, I'm thinking the same.  At this point it's more a "whenever" type
 BM> of thing for me: no rush.  Definitely need to get, probably within the
 BM> year.  (I'm thinking available more by summer.)
 NB> I might get mine before that... similarly though, I'm not in a
 NB> rush... and there are a few other health issues that I might want
 NB> more resolved before I toss the shot into the mix... ;)

Apparently still limitations on availability: a friend is schedule to 
get his shot via his doctor's office and has an appointment with the 
nurse Tuesday morning but was told to call in Friday to verify there is 
sufficient vaccine on hand at the office ==> limited availability.
