Finally managed to book myself in to get vaccinated, I get my first Pfizer shot on the 4th of August.

Only problem is I took the first available spot which is at a hospital on the other side of the city in a pretty shady suburb, so my biggest fear now is getting attacked by a meth-head or catching covid on the way to and from my appointment haha. Fingers crossed there's no covid in Melbourne then, just like there isn't now.

The vaccine rollout here in Australia has been a disaster, the government's aim was to vaccinate the entire population by October but at the current rate it will take until April 2022. Our federal government and prime minister are trash.

Still trying to organize a booking for my brother who has more significant autism than me and a congenital heart defect.

Na, I'm in Melbourne. Only case detected today was already a close contact and quarantining themselves during the infectious period.

I'm not too fussed about gettting a shot yet. Try taking your brother with you. I have heard from others if you simply wait around the area, they'll always be someone who hasn't shown up to their appointment leaving one jab free. 

Why not, you'll be there anyway.

Yeah I've been keeping a very close eye on the situation and things are going well for the moment thankfully, I just hope it stays that way for the next 5 weeks til my shot. I'm terrified of having to take four trains (two there, two back) and go to a hospital during an outbreak. It's also an area and venue I've never been to before which makes it scarier cos of my autism haha.

Thanks for the advice; I am hopeful we can get my brother sorted out and jabbed sooner. My parents have had their first shot by now too which is a big relief as they are in their 60s.
