A Covid-19 vaccine pilgrimage

Odin, my backseat travel companion

In mid-January, I signed up for the Covid-19 vaccine waiting list in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, where I live and felt hopeful. My chronic health conditions put me in the 1b category.

Two weeks later, the categories were updated and I became eligible in 1A, the group of people who were currently being vaccinated.
