I mean yes,
But then again no. You need to let the inoculation take effect, you won't be protected right away.

I got turned away when they ran out of vaccines last saturday. Just broke out the big guns and leveraged the fact that I regularly go inside hospitals as a contract worker and the fact that the local hospital has a contract worker vaccination drive and got scheduled for first thing Friday morning. I had my pick of times so I'm assuming that even if my interpretation of the rules is a looser than was intended they'll likely still stick me.

That's why I said mid May... First dose in the next week, second dose 3-4 weeks after that, then by mid may it's been a couple weeks since they had their second. I'll personally be hug safe at the end of April/beginning of May since I had my first does last Thursday.
I've actually seen this trend with several states. It's usually a perfect storm of anti maskers/covid deniers + new variants that spread easily like B117 + states lifting restrictions before getting over 60% of it's population vaccinated for herd immunity.

Long road ahead, and that's what my wife has been telling me, despite my apparently too-early optimism.
Country-wide she said the estimate is around 9% have had the virus, and about 14% are fully vaccinated. So that still leaves over 75% to go.
Not that I thought it would be gone by now, but was hoping to see sharp declines, not the other direction.

I'll be eligible to receive my vaccine on April 22.
I can pre-register now, but I think I will hold off on that. When you pre-register you do not get the choose the location you get your shot. My mother and sister both did this and they got appointments at CVS's more than 90 minutes drive away.
I might give it a couple weeks and see if I can get it at my local CVS as I work from home and haven't been going out other than to get the essentials.

I walked into a Walgreens on Monday just to inquire about whether they keep a cancellation/waste list and was initially told no, but then the pharmacist who overheard came over and was like, "You want one right now?" Apparently he had almost a full vile that was going to expire in a few hours. So, I left with my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine done and was also able to send my wife over for hers as well! Have to say, it did knock me down a bit. I felt fairly cruddy on Tuesday and even today still have some lingering fatigue. Coming around though. Makes me a bit nervous about dose two, but still a small price to pay to do my part. Only down side to this angle is they wouldn't schedule my second dose, as I'm technically not eligible still, but the pharmacist did say to just pop in again and they would poke me if they could. I'm sure it'll be fine. Worst case, I am eligible a few days after I'm due and the pharmacist said I actually have a 21 day window after my official due date to get the second one done.

- A new report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate and Anti-Vax Watch found that most of the anti-vaccine content circulating online can be tied to 12 people.
- The list includes prominent people who oppose vaccines, such as Robert F. Kennedy, whose Instagram account was permanently removed earlier this year.
12 prominent people opposed to vaccines are responsible for two-thirds of anti-vaccine content online: report
Watchdog groups call them the “Disinformation Dozen.”

They've been dubbed the "Disinformation Dozen": 12 individuals or organizations are tied to up to 65 percent of anti-vaccine content circulating on major social media networking sites, according to an analysis of popular anti-vaccine content on Facebook and Twitter.

This is super interesting to me. I've been thinking about how (and why) SO many people I know personally ignore literally thousands of experts to believe a thin line of information. This laser of of lies cuts through the large balloon of accurate, science-based, researched information.
Because it matches the narrative they are most comfortable with.
This is also very interesting to me and if you start to read why we accept or reject information, you start to see how flawed human logic really is.

Real-world effectiveness of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines - study by the US CDC.
www.cdc.gov
TL/DR:
Health care workers were followed for 3 months after vaccination and participants were tested weekly by PCR if no symptoms appeared or immediately if symptoms appeared. So this study accounts of asymptomatic infections.
People receiving only 1 dose, 14 days after dose: vaccine effectiveness 80%
People receiving the full 2-dose course, 14-days after 2nd dose: vaccine effectiveness 90%
