Dear Editor,

Why are all the “advertised” ways to receive or register for the vaccine not working?
The State of Michigan website did not accept my application when properly filled out. Oakland County did accept my application but there doesn’t seem to be any vaccine available.
This morning (Jan. 22), I saw an ad on TV showing a woman with white hair saying, “I just received my COVID vaccine and it only took 15 minutes.”
A voice indicated Meijer did indeed have the vaccine, get yours today. I immediately jumped on my phone and filled out the website application only to have it rejected. I then phoned my local Meijer and the person who answered filled out my application by phone, the same application I had filled out on my phone.
So here I am, 80 years old, and registered with Oakland County and Meijer and not hearing anything.
Why do senior citizens have to beg?
Friends in Arizona and Georgia have all received their first vaccination.

Sincerely,
Barb Zabel
