Success

After trying for a month to get an appointment for a COVOD vaccination, I finally succeeded. I’ve been tracking 27 vaccination locations near where I live and none of them has had openings for reservations. As a last resort, I decided to visit six pharmacies close by to speak with a person. At five of these, they said they couldn’t do anything and to go to the web site. I explained I had been going to their web site multiple times a day, but no reservations were available. I asked if they could put me on a waiting list but they said they couldn’t help me. At one pharmacy, I had a good conversation with the pharmacist, and he said he would put me on a waiting list. I thanked him profusely. That night I received a phone call from this pharmacy with news of spots opening for my wife and me the next day. I leaped on it.

When we went, there was no line, we quickly filled out paperwork, got our shots, waited fifteen minutes, were given vaccination cards and our follow on appointment. It was refreshing to find helpful people in this frustrating situation.
