@ COVID 5-11 vaccine. Walgreens is live for appts

@@@@

Walgreens opened appts for kids 5-11. The message says to check back later but if you enter the kids info, it will show availability!! Yay!

I got my boys scheduled. And woke 2 (very grateful) friends up to get theirs scheduled.

Who doesn’t love a 1AM text? Ha! At least Walgreens doesn’t ask 50 million questions to schedule the appointment like other places!

Scheduled!!! So glad I saw this.

Just scheduled and texted a friend. Thank you!

[expatjen]

Thanks for this PSA! Got my kid an appointment! Yay 👍🏽

[brooklyn]

Scheduled for Saturday!

[bears]

I scheduled for Saturday but it's not clear that I'm scheduling for a pediatric patient. Do you know if it's a real 5-11 pediatric appointment?

[court26]

Did you also get the question about authorization code? I don’t know what that even means? My DD can get it at the pediatrician in 1.5 or 2.5 weeks (they are calling to schedule parents who expressed interest) but I was looking to see if there was anything sooner.

Walgreens still isn’t working for me. CVS is open and I was able to get one kid an appointment for Sunday, by the time I got to the next kid only Monday was available at a different store.

If you don't have one, just say no. If you need one in your location, it will block you from scheduling, otherwise it won't. (I'm not sure anywhere is using them anymore, but it was a thing some places in the spring, I think.)

Also just scheduled and texted my friends. thank you for the head's up.

My guess is they are filtering by birthday, but we shall see. Walgreens did tweet out and say they would start offering the shot on Saturday. There were not a lot of slots available which made me think they knew I was scheduling pediatric shot.

[felicity]

Thank you! I scheduled it for Monday.

As long as you put their birthday in at the beginning, it’s a (likely) a pediatric appointment.

I mean, I’m no expert, but they do filter by age bc yesterday it only allowed me to make flu or tdap appointments.

Makes sense! I put in my age and could get appointments for tomorrow. If I put in my kids info, it wasn't until Saturday.

Kids are pumped!

[Bad Dingo]

I'm so excited for everyone!!

SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[Leeham Rimes]

You know kids have given up so much when they hug you upon hearing they are getting a shot on the weekend.

[abs]

CVS is live, too. Appointments start Sunday.

Appointments are wide open here. I scheduled one for next Saturday but I am thinking we can probably just walk in. I'm getting my booster on Friday and plan on asking.

[dcn]

Thank you for sharing this! My kids have appointments for Saturday!

[gardengal]

After a shitty election night, all these posts are giving me life. YAY vaccines!!!

[thebreakfastclub]

Thanks for the info! My son is now scheduled for Tuesday evening.

He is still complaining non-stop about getting a shot, lol.

[dale]

Just got for next Friday for my DD. She's so excited because we told her that after she was fully vaccinated we would get tickets for a Broadway show.

Frederick, MD walgreens had a bunch of apts for next wednesday when i booked about 20 min ago

[beerlover]

The closest Walgreens to me is 45 min away but I'd be willing to go there if I could get DS in sooner. But I just tried and got this message: We're sorry. Based on the current supply of vaccines, all our Covid-19 vaccination appointments within 25 miles of (zip code) are booked for the next 14 days.

I don't know what's going on in my community yet. My H's school is doing a clinic but I don't know when. We have Rite Aids here, but they don't appear to be making appointments yet.

[irishbride2]

We are booked for this weekend!!!!!!

[candreco]

I grabbed DS an appt for Tuesday evening next week, and there were at least 20 spots open. I was checking back for something more convenient like half an hour later and now those are all gone. I feel like I won the lottery, it's nuts.

[gummybear]

Thank you! I got our youngest in for Monday!!

[keweenawlove]

Ugh it won't let me schedule my daughter's in advance. She turns 5 in early December and I can't schedule until her birthday.

[maudefindlay]

My pediatrician is scheduling for next week and earliest I could get was Nov 11th, I will cancel those as I got my younger 2 in for this Sunday at Walgreens. Earlier and I don't have to pull them from school. Thanks for the heads up!

[icedcoffee]

I think I’m going to wait for my pedi to open appointments. They’ve promised there will be plenty so hopefully I can get him in next week. He doesn’t turn 5 until then anyway.
