Stanford requires booster shots for all students

That’s a bit different from my experience. Every time I became eligible, I immediately went to Walgreens website and made an appointment for that week. No hassle at all. Where do you live that it’s that difficult?

The backwater of Redmond. CVS, Walgreens (EDIT: Walgreens now shows appointments 2 weeks out), not a one of them showed an appointment less than a month out, if they bothered to show an appointment at all. Which reminds me of another annoyance: why not show ‘next available’ instead of making me click through each day to see if there’s an appointment?

I think the key is how fast you do it.

My wife instantly signed up when it was available and got a booster within a couple days. I waited a few days and my appointment was a month out.

We also waited a couple of days for our 6 year old and the appointment was 2 weeks out.

SF hasn’t had timely Walgreens booster appts since booster became generally available. I ended up waiting in drop in line at SFGH.
