[Diabetes-Talk] Diabetes and vaccine eligibility.

[Jamie Gurganus]

I am also in Iowa and I am on one waiting list so far. I haven’t been able to find any others that have appointment openings yet nor can I access the registration form. We will see what happens tomorrow when it is an actual business day! I am 55, and they only asked if I had an underlying condition such as diabetes on the form.
