I agree - selfish. I wonder how the residents feel about this.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Don't blame them. Feel the same about people going to a different state here in the US to get theirs. Poster adults for selfishness and privilege. I completely agree. We actually even hesitated to go to a county adjacent to us, but the hospital group that was operating the site has facilities in 40 NC counties, and urged everyone who wanted to get a vaccination to register at any of their mass vaccination sites. I'm glad we did that, as our doctor's office, while an approved site, hasn't been allocated any vaccines for the past two weeks.

GaKaye, I don't see a problem going to an adjacent County to get yours. If you are over 65, and/or fit into other risk groups, you need to protect yourselves.
And we did, once it was explained to us. I originally thought that the vaccine distribution was based on county population statistics, so I didn't want to take a vaccine from a county resident. Once the hospital made their protocols clear, we went to the adjacent county to get ours; it was available to us about two weeks before it was available to us in our own county.

Good Deal !! My Wife and I received our second Pfizer vaccine yesterday. No side effects other than very slight tenderness at injection site.

Clifftops--yes, thread drift does happen. Yes, people should confine their general comments regarding Covid and their experience with getting a shot to People Talk.
Regarding the topic of non-fulltime residents getting shots in SXM, I think that is a function of the SXM government's protocols for shots there. As I recall, they are allowing people that are not documented at all to receive the shots. Think someone from Jamaica for instance that has been physically residing on SXM for quite some time, but has no legal status there. That is where this came from, I would think.
And, by the way, do we even know for certain that the OFFICIAL policy does not allow for it? To me, it's likely that it might..
