I am scheduled to take the new omicron Covid booster at a nearby Walgreens on Monday morning, 9:30. I don't relish being in there fairly early for a somewhat unpleasant shot, but I thought the delay of waiting would be too frustrating if I scheduled later in the day and they got backed up fulfilling the appointments.
That pharmacy is always busy and there is insufficient help. I've had all my Covid shots there and now I've learned to set it up to be the first or second appointment. There is relatively little wait. I also have all the paperwork filled in and printed out from my computer, so I'm not working away on a clipboard when I just want to get the vaccine and enjoy a short walk home.
I was glad to get my senior flu shot right in my doctor's office a week ago. Quiet, private and friendly. But he doesn't offer the Covid vaccine.
I'm so glad to read here that many of us are getting flu shots and that new Covid booster. It's very encouraging because I wasn't sure about my decision to do this and now I feel it's right and sensible. For me, of course.
