How the heck did you get yours already? Were you in group 1A or whatever it was?
My wife works for Dept. of Health in Plainfield. A big issue that they've been having is people cancelling or not showing up for their vaccination appointments. They're at about 20% cancels or no shows - and there is a potential for the doses to spoil if they go unused. So they created a first come, first serve waiting list for any leftover doses. The catch is you have to drop whatever you're doing and be there in like half an hour - and even then you're not guaranteed a shot. For example, they'll call maybe 20 people for 10 doses.
Anyway, my wife offered to put me on the waiting list and I agreed thinking nothing will come of it and they called me about 2 weeks later. I drove down, got vaccinated and was in and out in about 15 minutes. Once you get a first shot, you're automatically put on the schedule for the second one - I get that on Feb 27.
Full disclosure - it's supposed to be for Plainfield residents. I got there they just asked me my name. They never asked for ID or proof of address.
