“#Singles are asking people on dates in the COVID vaccine line<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

People are looking for love while on line for the jab.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some soon-to-be-vaccinated people are treating their vaccination dates as a shmoozing opportunity with other almost-inoculated folks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth my seventy-something mom and a relative got asked out in the vaccine line. I\u2019m telling you ppl are ready. This summer will be wild,\u201d wrote<\/a> author Kaitlyn Greenidge this month in a viral tweet that has accrued over 203,000 likes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The tweet\u2019s comments are full of reports on similar happ<\/a>enings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMy 89-year-old mother [had] the same [thing happen]!\u201d responded<\/a> writer Julie Ingersoll. \u201cThis guy chatting her up in line talking about how hard it was to be old. She said tell me about it, and he said how old are you? She told him and he said I\u2019m 96! Then he said, \u2018do you have a \u2018friend\u2019?\u2019 She said \u2018yes I live with my boyfriend.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Others are being flirted with by vaccination site authorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe national guardsman who checked my ID today winked at me when he gave me my confirmation paperwork and said \u2018leave this on your dash so they know I checked you out\u2019 and I almost spontaneously combusted,\u201d another responder commented<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For some, even unwanted vaccine site flirtations are excusable due to the pandemic\u2019s prolonged restrictions on human contact.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week I was volunteering at a vaccine clinic and 76-year-old man kept asking me to take off my mask to see my face and telling me \u2018you need a boyfriend? I\u2019ve had all my shots.\u2019 And I wasn\u2019t even offended. So, yeah. People are ready,\u201d wrote<\/a> another.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Visiting a vaccine site is even being treated as a formal event worthy of wearing one\u2019s best to<\/a> \u2014 including the likes of designer Marc Jacobs, who dressed to the nines<\/a> for his COVID-19 vaccination.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people are also DRESSED UP for it. I was volunteering and saw a senior dude with his best leather cowboy hat and boots and a lady with big rings and a fancy dress. It\u2019s pretty fun,\u201d observed<\/a> another respondent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWearing a sequined full-length gown to my vaccine appointment because it\u2019s the EVENT OF MY YEAR,\u201d added another<\/a>.<\/p>\n
