On this note, they are currently vaccinating healthcare workers, right? So there are various sites where you can go on and sign up for the shot and identify yourself as a healthcare worker to confirm eligibility. Well, confirmed by my nurse wife and some of her healthcare friends who have been vaccinated, when you get there for the shot there is no requirement whatsoever to prove that you are actually a healthcare worker - no simple "can you show me your nurse's badge" - nothing. What is the point of the restriction, then? My wife saw multiple people that were clearly jumping the line... I want everyone to get the shot and everything but that is a little annoying when I am sitting here wondering when I might be able to get it.
Mandy Cohen confirmed that there would be no confirmation or ID required for the shots in Group 3, just honor system. I wouldn't jump the line but would definitely take a leftover shot. And anecdotally, it would appear that there are leftover shots in the Greater Charlotte region that can be had with a little effort other than being in the right place at the right time. FTR, I'm Group 4.
