The first time I went to the pharmacy, for my first shot, in and out, 15 minutes.



I am in a rural area, not a million choices, and I'm not going to drive 35+ miles for a shot.



My whole point was, the system is flawed, and not making it easy to get vaccinated. And this is a large chain, CVS. But, somehow, people want to find every way to discredit my account.



I have my shots, finally. But, imo, this process should be made as easy as possible. You shouldn't have to know how to take pics and upload them online, you shouldn't have a situation where you lose your data because someone else took the time slot, you shouldn't have to register after 11 pm.



I want everyone to get a shot, and I am just relaying my experience.

There were some inconveniences along the way to being given potentially life saving medicine at no cost to you.

So you're claiming there isn't another pharmacy, dr. office, clinic within 35+ miles? I find that extremely hard to believe.

And you don't have to upload your insurance card because the vaccine is free. Just present it when you get your shot.

My Doctors office, 45 miles away, does not do vaccines. Why are you so hell-bent on discrediting my experience with my nearest pharmacy, which is part of large chain? Do you not understand what "rural" means?

Lord.

Why the hell does anyone even respond to this creature? It's screamingly obvious it's Darat's sock puppet to boost participation.

Whoa!

An 85% in the poll.

What country is this forum in?

The poll was made in the US Politics subforum, but I, for one, have answered it and I'm not in the US.

Might be worth someone starting one that says it's only for Americans, or for everyone.

Online process required to get an appointment.

Must input pictures of insurance cards. Like this must be so intuitive for most people?

At best appointments are 3 days out, at random times.

If you register, and someone else grabs your chosen time slot during the process, you get error messages and lose all data. Must start again, without any idea of why.

Walk-in, rejected, and told not possible.

And, best part...pharmacy person acknowledges that I was mislead about no walk-ins. Then told, even if I did, 1 hour wait.

Pharmacy acknowledges that the online appointment system is bad, and suggests that if people want to book an appointment, that they try after 11 pm at night, to start.

Those are the basics. Geeze.

Where in the US are you?

I got an appointment the next day but walk-ins were also welcome. They asked for insurance when I registered and I said, "I thought you didn't need insurance." The clerk said, "Yes, that's fine." I'm 68 and she didn't even ask if I had Medicare. All I needed was my driver's license for identification. No insurance, no waiting.

Yes you are supposed to wait about 15 minutes after your vaccine in case you have an allergic reaction. When I got my booster dose recently I didn't have to wait because I didn't react to either of the first 2.

I refer you to the 'ballot traded for a six pack' and 'friend at the post office took a bunch of ballots' stories. Figure it out. And which was it? Your second shot was in 5 days or 2 weeks later? You claimed both.

I said the soonest appointment was 5 days out. Life happens. Sorry.

If you want the ful details of why I had to schedule a later appointment, pm me.

This is odd. I just went to the CVS online Covid appt. schedule and they never asked me to provide a picture of my insurance card. They did ask if I had insurance and gave me choices to click like Medicare or other or none and what my insurance number was but never for a picture of my card. Maybe your CVS online requirements are different for....reasons.
 
All I, my wife, my son, and my daughter had to show for vaccination was a driver's license, and that only at the time of the actual vaccination (not to schedule).

Seriously, it was at MOST 5 minutes to schedule each shot, and a total of 30 minutes (including travel time) for the vaccination.

And I live in Arkansas. It doesn't get much more rural.
