I am 69½ and as of yet been able to get an appointment. As they continue to expand eligibility, it once again makes the pool increase, decreasing the elderly's and the truly essential workforce's chances to get vaccinated.

A hierarchy needs to be maintained. Open the eligibility but sort by need.

An 18 year old registers to get vaccinated and is assigned #666 ... a 69½ registers and they get bumped to #666 and the 18 year old gets bumped to #667 etc. etc. so on and so forth
