Hope you can get an appointment del. My buddy, Vista's noted Swedish astronomer is 81 has been having a devil of a time getting his. He comes in a couple times a week. Tried to call the number and of course that didn't work. Neither he or his wife are real computer savvy either so that wasn't much of an option without help from his daughters. Still couldn't even make an appointment until next week sometime. He said too that Mayo system & King Walz's minions had a pissing match over who and where it would be distributed & administered out here in the land of rocks and cows. Another guy, maybe closer to your age del said the same thing only he was more capable using the computer. Both these guys are veterans. Personally, I'd like to see veterans get priority in their age bracket if they want the vaccine. Just my $.02.
Jabbed my thumb with a syringe loaded with Draxxin tonite. Ewe zigged when I thought she was gonna zag. At least it wasn't Micotil or I might've been dead. Still smarted tho & the 18 gauge needle left a hole that bled like a stuck hog. Probably better off if I don't volunteer my services.
Just got a email from Mayo this morning. Totally sounds like they are not happy with the state, reading between the lines

Dear Patient,
COVID-19 vaccinations are now being offered on a limited basis in Minnesota. You may have questions about when you can be vaccinated against COVID-19 at a Mayo Clinic facility.
All of us are eager to put the pandemic in the past. In Southeast Minnesota, Mayo Clinic is working closely with local public health departments, other health systems, and the Southeast Minnesota Disaster Coalition on planning for distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine in accordance with state guidelines. The Minnesota Department of Health directs vaccine distribution. We are prepared to begin vaccinations as soon as we receive supply and direction from the state.
What should you do now?
There is nothing you need to do at this time. Mayo Clinic, or your public health department, will notify you when COVID-19 vaccine supply becomes available and you’re eligible to schedule your vaccination appointment. Your notification from Mayo Clinic will be sent through Patient Online Services. Please do not contact your health care provider to schedule your vaccination until you receive this notification.
When you become eligible to receive your vaccine, you’ll receive an email asking you to schedule your vaccination appointment at Mayo Clinic through Patient Online Services. Scheduling your vaccination through Patient Online Services is quick and convenient.
Of course, you may get your vaccination from another health care organization or through your state’s health department once you become eligible. If you do, please remember to let your Mayo Clinic provider know that you have been vaccinated so it can be added to your medical record.
At this time, we are not able to answer COVID-19 vaccine eligibility questions over the phone or through Patient Online Services. Please visit
www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine for more information.
At all our locations, enhanced safety measures continue to provide a safe environment for patients, staff and visitors. If you have a health care concern, schedule an appointment today.
Thank you for your continued trust in Mayo Clinic as we work together to meet your health care needs.
Sincerely,
Your Mayo Clinic Care Team
