South Carolina -- availability varies, but most parts of the state have at least some appointments and they seem to be becoming more readily available.

> there are large numbers of vaccine denialists who are choosing to forego the vaccine altogether. That leaves some localized surpluses.

The people that do not want the vaccine are a part of why. There are different reasons for this, with some just wanting others to get a chance first. But noone is going to force people to take it.

Its also really unfair to characterize this as "rural areas" with "large numbers of vaccine denialists". We have urban areas with vaccines available and rural areas with full appointment books.



> We have urban areas with vaccines available

Really? Where?


https://vaccinefinder.org/ - This site is halfway decent.

Be careful to click through to the actual pharmacies, though. It is often out of date with actual availability being lower than indicated. Our state has also been running mobile events that have generally not been fully booked.

I'm in no hurry personally, but I'm not seeing where it would be difficult to get for me.

My experience with VF was the exact opposite: it was showing lots of availability where in fact there was none.

But the burden of proof is still on you: what urban areas in the U.S. has good vaccine availability? By which I mean: anyone who wants one can get one same-or-next day.


https://www.walgreens.com/findcare/vaccination/covid-19/appo... - Readily available in Charlotte, NC this week. I wouldn't call that rural. I didn't check Atlanta, GA, but I'd expect them to be pretty available too.

It is starting to become really easy to get this vaccine in the US now with just Pfizer and Moderna.


Yes, the situation seems to be changing rapidly, and appears now to be much improved.


> My experience with VF was the exact opposite: it was showing lots of availability where in fact there was none.

That's exactly what I said, actually. Though it wasn't none, just low. Be sure to check back after a day or so. Availability swings pretty quickly.
