As we I wrote in February, I was lucky enough to get in vaccinated.

Nick Muerdter: Making It Easier to Get a Vaccine Appointment
We offer a big thank you to concerned citizen Nick Muerdter for his efforts to help resolve theCOVID-19 vaccine scheduling issues.
According to Christina Maxouris,, reporting for CNN:
For weeks, Nick Muerdter heard coworkers’ concerns and frustrations as they tried to navigate complicated and evolving Covid-19 vaccination systems to land an appointment for their parents. Some sent around E-mails with helpful articles and brainstormed for a solution. “It seemed like people just spent a lot of time on these pharmacy Web sites,” said Muerdter. He is a 34-year-old software engineer for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado. “And those were particularly frustrating just because it was you go to the Web site. You enter a zip code. You select a store. But then nope, no, no appointments. And then you need to try a different store or try a different zip code.”
