If you're low on the Covid vaccine priority list, you might not have tried to find an appointment yet. But let me assure you, it's crazy. Here in PA, I need to try half a dozen individual sites around us trying to get an older relative an appointment. My kids are trying to find her one as well. Every day, all of us. Multiple times. Multiple sites. She doesn't have a computer. So we've all jumped in, trying to get get her a vaccine sooner rather than later.
A lot of assisted living communities are having vaccines brought in, but there are many people who are eligible to get a vaccine, but live independently and don't have that service. And maybe don't have computers, or computer expertise.
That's the point of today's post. I'm not talking about my books, my studio or Tallulah. I'm not trying to give you glee or make you smile.
I'm here talking about helping someone else. Yes, this is a cry for help for others you know. Reach out to your older relatives, to your older neighbors. Reach out to those who don't have computers. People who aren't computer literate. Reach out. Lend a hand. Be a hero. Be their hero.
I have law enforcement officers in my family. People who put their lives on the line to make a difference and to save lives. I have a lot of medical professionals in my family. Again, they put their lives on the line trying to make a difference and save lives.
I'm a romance writer, and a potter. I've spent my life wrangling kids. I like to think those things have made a difference but there haven't been a lot of times I've got to actively save someone's life. But this I can do. I can go through those sites and look for open appointments.
And I can put out this call and ask you to reach out. Be a hero...lend a hand.
As long as I'm putting out calls, wear a mask, stay socially distance, wash your hands. And let's all beat this awful, horrible disease. Let's come together and lend a hand where we can. And this once, we can all be heroes.
