There is at least one Seattle standby vaccine list but it's reserved for people 65+.

And apparently WA state is now going to maybe vaccinate people with two comorbidities sooner BUT that is also not going to be just people 50+ anymore, but they're possibly starting with people 16+? I can't imagine the absolute clusterfuck that is going to cause. It's also really unclear which two comorbidities "count" and right now people who are NOT eligible and apparently won't be for a long time, but who are also at a real risk of getting really sick or even dying if we get the virus, are feeling....well I've already been negative enough in the comments here, I don't need to go on and on about it. It's kind of a sharp reminder of how little the lives of the chronically ill are valued in general society, even as a large part of the general society looks at risk for a lot of post-viral chronic illnesses.
