Locally they are vaccinating those aged 70+ currently, who have accounted for 86% of fatalities. The state set up a website where you can register. Not sure of the exact process but somehow that is fed back to the county health departments who are in charge of the actual vaccinations. Here, some vaccinations are performed at the hospital and some at a newly-outfitted vaccination clinic. Sounds like it will be a while before they are available at any local pharmacy like the flu shots are.
