For me, driving out to the Boardwalk was annoying (because I don’t like the Boardwalk) but not actually even rising to the level of inconvenient. For another, getting way out there could be a significant inconvenience. Bus service isn’t too bad (although not great, honestly; I think the actual clinic might be pretty far from the bus stop) but depending on how busy a person is with kids and a low-paying, long-hours job, even that might not be particularly easy to fit into the schedule.
My friend in Seattle says that vaccines where he is have been extremely accessible ("easier than voting") with driving-you-to-the-vaccine service etc. We certainly do not have that in Ontario and I hope that comes.
Given the state of the US democracy, "easier than voting" doesn't mean quite as much there as it does here.
Quite frankly, the whole vaccine rollout has been terrible here.
Right from the beginning...and by beginning I mean last Fall last year (read: September) when it became clear there would be vaccines available in the near term and our government sat on it's ass for five months and did shit all to prepare.
We should have all been pre-registered for vaccination and knowing where clinics were going to be before the first vaccines were approved.
