20. Had trouble

Sat Nov 18, 2023, 12:39 PM

Nov 2023

finding Covid vax at first. Twice had an appointment at cvs and both times cancelled-seems my local cvs wants to concentrate on flu shots this time of year. Then finally got Covid vax at local grocery store pharmacy.
The cvs I go to had shingles, pneumonia and flu vax, just no Covid shots. This particular cvs is not open weekends any longer. They simply cannot find enough people to work there. Used to go to a locally owned pharmacy. They had one pharmacist and occasionally a sub, but it got to where I would go in and they couldn’t give me my prescription because the pharmacist wasn’t in yet at 11:00 am in the morning! Guess he couldn’t afford the sub the last year or two they were open. Quit going to them and within a year they were closed. This was several years before Covid.
