Some Valley residents share their tips on how to make an appointment to receive the Walgreens COVID-19 vaccine.
Several Walgreens locations have received a handful of doses through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program for COVID-19 vaccinations. This week, appointments on Friday and Saturday were quickly booked, and there are currently no appointments available.
“It would have been said that appointments were available, but when you clicked, it said, ‘Oops, there is no appointment available,'” said Bev Grassy, who on Saturday gave her first dose of COVID-19 vaccine from Walgreens received. . Grassy said the key to finding an appointment is simple. Keep the website page refreshed. “I’m so glad I got it.”
The same tip comes from Susanne Solmes, who constantly refreshed the available appointment page on the Walgreens website before winning the so-called “appointment lottery”.
“After about seven appointment times, I happily came in,” Solmes said.
Debbie from Sun City West said she was lucky enough to sign up friends online using a computer and advised her to use a phone or tablet to register. She told ABC15 that Walgreens will have new appointment hours on Tuesday at 06:00 or Wednesday at 06:00
One Walgreens pharmacy told ABC15 that “supply is not 100% guaranteed.” The addition of the pharmacy is not sure how many appointments will be available in the next week, as the amount of vaccines given at the specific location is unknown.
According to Pharmacists at Walgreens 19th Avenue and Bethany Home Road in Central Phoenix, hundreds of vaccines will be given at the location, and appointments will be available Friday and Saturday.
CVS is also scheduled to be part of this new pharmacy development. but when we touched on the base with CVS, they did not have a timetable for when the operations in Arizona could begin.
