<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Check early every Thursday. I have used the state's site to find appointments, and last week, I signed in at about 10:30 and got an appt. at a CVS. This was after going into an
online "waiting room" for about 5 minutes. </div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">When you go to the state site, check smaller individual sites that do not immediately offer the message "full" but just say "see details". For example, I checked at about 10:30
this morning, and although the general message on the state site was that nothing was available, I clicked "see details" next to the Holyoke CVS and found availability at the Greenfield CVS! You can also go straight to CVS's own website instead. I do recommend
CVS (and probably Walgreen's), as you can wait inside instead of in a car, and they are very well organized on crowd control and process. The one I went to in Palmer had a private room set up for the vax itself, and chairs for people to wait before and after
the vax.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Best of luck. Next Thursday, they will be opening up to teachers, so hopefully they will work on more availability of sites before then--and the J&J brand will be available, so
more supply than today.</div>

<div class="PlainText">this is has been a hot topic in many venues<br>
Since your question is how, not why, I'll hold the very techie why's.<br>
The simple why is the very high level of demand and too many 'medical' <br>
not 'Google/amazon' level solutions.<br>
<br>
If you are not Franklin county, FRCOG is not of use, for those up here, <br>
check out at frcog.org<br>
That's where we got appts for next week.<br>
<br>
Any help for Hampshire county - more local sites seem to be less likely <br>
to be overloaded.<br>
<br>
Stay well - Rich<br>
