Wow, that seems old. I thought neighboring Massachusetts was bad; they’re still doing the 75+ crowd.

You are generally given about a 1 or 2 day notice of where and when your appointment will be. If you have mobility issues you are mostly SOL. They don’t care whether, nor do they ask if, you will be able to stand in a long line for hours. I can’t stand more than a few minutes nor can I walk very far. They say in the application to come inside to the head of the line when you show up if you have these kind of issues, then they will attempt to accommodate you. Nothing like cutting in front of a few hundred (or more) angry people, many of whom or legally armed, to get inside. I currently have no idea if I’ll ever get vaccinated, or when, or whether I will be physically unable to get from the parking lot into the facility because I don’t know which facility they will send me to.

I know the distribution center nearest me is a drive-through, which presupposes being able to drive or having a relative or friend who’s willing to ferry you. I wonder if Uber’s doing a vaccination business? But for those with mobility issues the drive-through seems a lot more convenient and that’s in addition to the benefit of not being inside a facility with a lot of frustrated people.
It seems every state has its horror stories. I think I saw that it rolled out smoothly in West Virginia?
