What county are you in? I know that it varies from county to county. We are in Broward and the day my hubby hit elegibility (60+) the county texted him an appointment for a few days later (he did a drive-thru at Tree Tops Park in Davie). We didn't know if we could count being so lucky twice so when they lowered the age (50+) for me I just drove straight to a "no appointment" FEMA site in Dade county where I was vaccinated that day. Are there any "no appointment" FEMA sites you can go to? It is not right that you are still trying for an appointment! I feel so bad for you.
