canyonwalkerI want to get my Covid booster shot. It's been a year, and the new formulation protects better against some of the newer strains. And I can get a flu shot at the same time. Yay, right? Except last week I scheduled these shots for next week Friday at CVS, and today CVS emailed me canceling my appointment.
The same thing happened to Hawk. She booked her shots for the same day but at a different store.
And a similar thing happened to a friend a few weeks ago. Though I think they booked the shot at Walgreen.
Does CVS just suck? No, I suspect the problem is supply of vaccine doses. There have been some reports in the news that supplies are kind of herky-jerky right now.
I've rebooked at the nearby CVS store for a week later (two weeks from now). Meanwhile I'll look at finding a shot somewhere else sooner. A friend who was over this evening said he was able to get a walk-up shot at Costco.
