Can't everybody get vaccinated in the US unlike the EU where you have to wait for your turn and can't buy vaccines? That would explain the difference
Here it was open to everyone 2 months ago.
We're also about 7.75% ahead of the US when it comes to the percentage of the total population who has gotten their first dose, with the trend still being upwards. So I'd say that the problem isn't really willingness.
I don't know how accurate that is. It may depend on where/how you book the vaccine. I'm in my 40s and live in Madrid, and only got my first dose last week in the local health center rather than a large vaccine hub, because it hasn't been very well advertised. I assumed I still wasn't eligible.
You should just try booking a vaccine, worst that can happen is the system won't let you.
