With my small business 90% shut down for a YEAR now, due to COVID, I had to find other ways to make money, one of them being a "Shipt shopper" an app like Instacart. I qualified for prescription deliveries, which is mostly what I do, way easier than buying bananas and beer and Pampers for people.
On Wednesday, I picked up at a CVS pharmacy in Arcadia, California, and on the way out I saw the manager putting together a sign, part of which I could see, that said "COVID VACCINATIONS HERE".
I asked if they were giving the shots, he said he had only found out that morning and got his parents set up at 4 in the morning. He told me to go straight home, use a computer, not a phone, because it could take hours to get through..so I stopped working went home, logged on and WAITED...for 2 hours it just kept saying i was "in the waiting room". I was gonna give up. I went and made a sandwich, got ready to go back out to work, then sat at computer to eat sandwich and VOILA!, suddenly I got through, made an appointment for yesterday at 10:30am.
Got there early and had to wait a bit, the pharmacist had come in late and needed time to extract the serum or something, no problem, I've waited a year, I can wait some more, and by 11:30 I was done and my next shot automatically scheduled for 4 weeks from now.
No side effects, I worked all day after the shot, just my arm is sore as expected. I slept better than I have in a year, at least one HUGE worry is halfway over with and will be gone entirely in a month!
I can't remember the web site but i just put "CVS covid shot" in a search engine and found the right page.

(15,539 posts)My circle of people from Michigan is rather small, especially during Covid, but I live in a mostly senior neighborhood and of the few people that haven't done their yearly snowbird trip and that I know well enough to ask, no one has gotten theirs yet. My daughter told me that people in the UP seem to be getting more than down state.
