I dont live in Story County. I am 2 hours away. My son who spent over 6 weeks in the hospital this winter, needs a covid shot. He can drive but not far, not real confident yet. His immune system is compromised. All appointment are taken. I look, he looks, I call he calls. What are we not doing do get him his shots? This is asking for help. No politics or bashing of public health. I just got my second shot today in a rural county where I live.

A lot of people I work with went from Ames to Algona. Rev is heading from Ames to Fort Dodge this weekend.
It takes some real aggression or cleverness to get into Ames.
That said, @ISUAgronomist will be the guy that can help get one in Ames.
Does he have an immunologist or something he is in contact with, i am sure they could point him in the right direction.
I used this. Pretty slick. Getting my first shot tomorrow.

I had alot of trouble getting one in Story County. Drove to Iowa Falls today.
No but thank you for the thought. His doctors all say the shots are hard to come by. My cynical view is doctors dont want involved in this maze. I dont blame them. They saved his life.

I am assuming he tried little nearby towns like Huxley, Slater, Boone, etc?
Saw an article a few weeks ago that DM people were driving to Corydon but that would be too far for him unless he had a driver it sounds like.
