More than a month after federal officials recommended a new version of the COVID-19 vaccines, 7% of U.S. adults and 2% of children have gotten a shot. One expert calls the numbers “abysmal.”
There are no restrictions on getting this booster. It is recommended even if you have had an older booster recently. In my area, Walgreens and CVS are the only pharmacies who have it. I was able to make an appointment online and get the shot within a day or two.
How is it not available for you? There’s no age limits this time. There’s been problems with supply; I had 3 appointments cancelled because they were out of vaccine before I finally got my shot.
I found it was useful to expand my search; I didn’t even know the pharmacy existed where I eventually got my shot, it was a small compounding pharmacy. And I called ahead to check before I came in, having been turned away at CVS despite an appointment. Good hunting!
In my experience, going to the more conservative, blue collar neighborhoods was the most reliable on availability. But that’s when there was a huge demand on the first and second round of shots, and pharmacies were taking as many vials as they could
It’s not even available for me yet, how am I supposed to help this stupid statistic?

Yes. This time I think those areas just aren’t ordering very much.
