Some valley residents share their tips on how to schedule an appointment to receive the COVID-19 vaccine from Walgreens.
Several Walgreens locations have received a handful of doses through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program for COVID-19 vaccines. This week, Friday and Saturday appointments have been booked quickly and no appointments are currently available.
“It would be said there were appointments available, but when I clicked it said ‘there are no appointments available,'” said Bev Grassy, who received the first dose of Walgreens’ COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday. the key to finding an appointment is simple, keep updating the website page. “I’m so glad I got it.”
The same advice comes from Susanne Solmes, who was constantly updating the dating page available on the Walgreens website before winning the so-called “dating lottery”.
“Luckily after seven times, I came in,” Solmes said.
Debbie, of Sun City West, said she was lucky enough to add friends online using the computer and discourages using a phone or tablet to sign up. He told ABC15 that Walgreens will have new schedules from Tuesday at 6 a.m. or Wednesday at 6 p.m.
A Walgreens pharmacy told ABC15 that “supply is not 100 percent guaranteed.” If you add the pharmacy, it is not known how many appointments will be available next week because it is unknown how many vaccines are given at that particular site.
According to pharmacists on Walgreens 19th Avenue and Bethany Home Road in downtown Phoenix, a hundred shots are being given at the site and appointments will be available on Fridays and Saturdays.
CVS is also expected to be part of this new pharmacy launch. but when we touched base with CVS, but they didn’t have a timeline for when they could start operations in Arizona.
