They were damn good in the initial roll-out, but though I've seen some ink in their emails about "getting ready for boosters" I've not seen a lot of real movement. They obviously don't want to do it like the first go-around.

encouraged vets to go outside of the system. I have no problem with that...they'll catch up pretty quickly. My first two doses were well organized and very efficient.

It's all by appointment only where I live. My husband couldn't get his booster Monday like he wanted to. Tried to book appointments with with some pharmacies and without any luck. He'll be getting it on the 30th at a drive up site set up by the health department. Apparently there's a high demand and a limited supply of the vaccine in our area.

most places wanted to book me at the end of January!

But my bro went to that pharmacy yesterday and just walked in, so I gave it a try today and it worked.

you never know. Maybe they have cancellations or no-shows and have extra doses. Once they thaw them out they have to use them or toss them after a few hours.

Just a suggestion.

I'd suggest it but he's probably tired of dealing with it and will keep his appointment. Thanks for the suggestion though.
