  1. I'm 6 months pregnant and a teacher. Can I get the vaccine at this location? Do I really have to wait because I have health insurance?

  2. Judging from the people I saw interviewed on TV on Saturday, you're pretty high priority. I think they're discouraging people who aren't high-priority from showing up just because it's free.
