Just minutes after the governor announced vaccine eligibility had expanded, 28-year-old Adam Escousse rushed to sign up. "I was waiting for it and immediately went to the computer to see if I could sign up before it got crazy," Escousse said. Booking an appointment was a shockingly quick process for many new vaccine hopefuls like Jason Breaux. "The eligibility guidelines leaked across the internet. As soon as I saw those guidelines, I jumped on and scheduled as soon as I could," Breaux said.
