It's just been really haphazard.

It just shouldn't be this hard.

Timothy Callahan and his sister, Katie Callahan Durkin, have learned that just because they're 88 year old mother is one of America's elderly at the front of the line for the Kobe 19 vaccine, that doesn't mean it's going to be easy for her to get it.

Family members across the country are finding the process of getting their elderly loved ones signed up for the vaccination too complex due to a patchwork of state by state, city by city protocols.

It's been so difficult to get an appointment that some, like Naomi Barry Perez, who's trying to get her 75 year old mother vaccinated, are comparing it to scoring a hard to get tickets for the Broadway smash Hamilton, before the health crisis forced it to go Dark, couldn't find the right.

But until about 605 and at that point I was number 13,000 in line.

So five minutes after it opened, um, and I thought to myself, This is worse than Hamilton, but not everyone sees the humor in it all with the U.

S.

Death toll topping 440,000 and inoculation bottlenecks popping up across the country.

Some are left toe worry as they scrambled to get their parents of vaccination spot soonest.

Appointment I could get for her was April 10th in Binghamton in New York, which is a four hour drive in Washington, D.

C volunteers at Foggy Bottom West End Village helped by driving the elderly to their vaccination appointments.

But as executive director Denise Snyder has learned, an appointment isn't always an appointment.

That site started sending out messages to the folks who signed up, saying, We don't have as many doses as we thought we did, so we have to cancel your appointment.

Despite the setbacks, 79 year old Janet Farm Steen is heading in for her second vaccination appointment, looking forward to life, getting back to normal one day soon.
