No, after the online experience, and feedback from the pharmacist, I disagree. Although, I do agree that my "local" pharmacy did not impress. I mentioned this initially. It was only later that I learned how deep that rabbit hole was.

With all of the interest in people getting vaccinated, I don't understand the push-back on this, to be honest. My interest is that they improve the process, which is why I discussed it with the pharmacist.

I went through the CVS pharmacy application process. Uploading a photocopy of your insurance card is OPTIONAL. Fields to enter your insurance information are right there on the same page. Strange you didn't mention that.

Seems like you are falsely making it more difficult just to be cantankerous.

It was not optional for my pharmacy, apparently. I noted that it said optional, as well. Did you progress to the final stages? I couldn't, without uploading the pics. I am not inclined to make a video on it, but might consider doing so, now. I have already mentioned the issue of what happens if your time slot is taken while in the registration process, also.

ETA: Another example of how people actively mine for anything to argue about.

Dude, my Facebook feed is practically ****** my ****** to get me to go get vaccinated. I can't scroll more than four posts before I get a notice about another vaccination clinic. They're practically offering me a choice of Moderna, Pfizer and a side of ****** or ******** depending on my preference. How is it so easy for over a hundred million people and you're having a hard time?

Of course I got vaccinated months ago when they weren't offering all the bennies.

I did the same process and I got past the insurance part with no problem without uploading a picture. You're making out like it's just soooooooo hard to get an appt. online when it's not. And, yes, we do tend to challenge what appears to be false info like claiming trading a ballot for a six pack and post office friends taking a batch of ballots to support one's "ballot fraud" claims.
 
Idaho, with only a 40% vaccination rate, has had to begin rationing care in its Covid filled hospitals. Stupidity has consequences.

And in Spokane (WA) which borders on Idaho, we have our own anti-vaxxers filling up hospitals with COVID.

Spokane is definitely Trump country. My parents and sister moved from there because of how right-wing it was.
People's "personal choice" not to get vaccinated is negatively affecting lots of people due to that choice, some of them dying because of it. Don't tell me you're not affecting anyone else because of "mah feedoms!".

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare announced last week that Panhandle Health District and the Idaho North Central District entered into crisis standards of care because of “a massive increase in patients with COVID-19 who require hospitalization.” This means resources are stretched so thin patients can no longer expect the level of care they would receive under normal circumstances.
The Department of Defense has provided Kootenai Health, North Idaho's largest hospital, with a 20-person medical team that includes 14 nurses, four physicians and two respiratory therapists. Kootenai Health leaders also made the decision on Aug. 20 to convert the hospital's largest conference room in the Health Resource Center into a patient care area dedicated to COVID-19 patients. It can accommodate up to 22 patients, according to the hospital.

While Washington state is not yet operating at crisis standards of care, which is when hospitals must deny lifesaving treatment to one patient in order to give it to another, hospital officials said the state of the health care system is fragile right now. Washington State Hospital Association (WSHA) Executive Vice President Taya Briley said the state is doing everything it can to avoid crisis standards of care.

However, patients from the Idaho Panhandle are contributing to the strain on Spokane-area hospitals. The New York Times reported that 29 of Sacred Heart's inpatients last week were from Idaho. Officials added that the number of patients sent over to the emergency room from Kootenai Health was up 34% in August. Ariana Lake, a spokesperson for Providence, also confirmed this information to KREM on Monday.

In a joint press conference with Spokane County health care providers on Friday morning, Providence's Chief Operating Officer (COO) said Sacred Heart and Holy Family Hospital were caring for their highest number of COVID-19 patients since the pandemic began. As of Friday morning, 150 patients with COVID-19 are hospitalized at Sacred Heart and Holy Family Hospital in Spokane, according to Currie.

Dr. Getz addressed the delay in surgeries and procedures, including procedures to remove brain tumors and treat orthopedic injuries. “We are delaying care for people who are in misery,” he told the New York Times. “It’s agonizing for those patients. This has real impacts on these people who are waiting.”

With OHSA mandates coming down our company just authorized a $200 bonus for all those employees that demonstrate full vaccination.
 
Fully vaccinated with Moderna since April. The VA called me up and gave me a choice between Moderna and J&J, and it didn't require ​much research to find out which was more effective.

Having grown up in Florida and now living in California, it's amazing how different our approaches have been, and how disastrous they've been to Florida.

We are doing pretty well here, but I would never move back to Florida after the cesspool it's become.

I felt that way about California when I left it 31 years ago...but not because of its politics. You couldn't pay me to live certain states, FL and TX included.
 
The kids and I got our flu vaccine on Friday. Does that work in this thread?

Covid vaccine was months and months ago
