Just got my first Pfizer shot this morning! [View all]
At one of the local Walgreens stores.
Eligibility just expanded to the 18+ club in my state last week, on April 5th. All the state and local vaccination sites were booked. All appointments at the several Publix, CVS and any other private entity locations were booked since I started checking.
One my elder aunts had passed away a couple of weeks ago and a few relatives had traveled down. This past Sunday, around 10 of us including my mother, a few aunts and a few cousins had gathered to see our relatives off who were now traveling back home. After me, the next youngest person in this gathering was my mother at 56. Out of the group, I'm the only one who had not received any vaccination shot. Everyone else had their vaccination shots through their job or church (or wherever else) months ago. All of my aunts were pressuring me to get this shot, which I had already planned to do.
All the previous times I had checked, they were all booked. To my surprise, I just randomly decided to check for appointments after this gathering on Sunday and Walgreens had open appointments all day Thursday and Friday. I thought I was in for a long wait before I saw any vaccination shots.
