All mine have been Pfizer.
My county's Board of Elections headquarters is giving vaxxs on a walk-in basis, M-F 8-5p.m.
I was gratified to see many children among those there, as well as many young adults.

Got boosted @ CVS, and my County has set up vax spots, as well as my doc's group.

EASY to get appointment @ CVS on-line, Thursday for Saturday appointment, and NO WAIT today, I was the only person there for it.

No 'reaction' yet, SLIGHT discomfort in arm; will see if any more tomorrow.
