Austinites wait in a line wrapping around the Delco Activity Center to receive a COVID-19 vaccine Wednesday. Some people had appointments, others did not.
Maggie McConnell brought a neon pink collapsible chair with her to a school recreation center in Northeast Austin. By noon she had yet to unfurl it, caught in rapid conversation with people waiting in a line that wrapped around the building.
The talk? How confusing finding a vaccine in Austin has been.
“[My daughter’s] friend’s neighbor told her they were giving vaccines, and they were giving vaccines to that 1B category and also there was a line for everybody,” McConnell, 74, said. The 1B category includes people over 65 and those with chronic medical conditions.
