The Walgreens has them near me (WA) I had a appointment with them for today but remembered that they are the only pharmacy that does not take my insurance, so I canceled it. I have been keeping an eye on appts at other places because I want to get a shot before a trip that will have me at airports. CVS does not have appts until 9/29. I had forgotten to check Rite Aid and after reading this I was able to make an appt for Friday. They let me choose which form of the vaccine I wanted after choosing the day. I hope they actually have the shot when I get there. I think some places are making appointments with the expectation that they will get them in by then. Anyway, thanks for making this post otherwise I would have never checked with Rite aid.
Ha, so it turns out that our COVID booster appointments at CVS were automatically cancelled for today. They donât have the updated vaccine in yet. Reschedule was available for next week.
Weâll see what actually happens!
Speaking of cancellationsâŚaaaarg! My frustration with Express Scripts now knows no end. Cancelling a standing 90 day mail order was a âcoding errorâ. FFS. Must be the bots.
I think thereâs a concern about how limited in time the protection is good for. So theyâre saying to wait until Oct-Nov, thinking circulation will be heaviest in the colder months just after that - I guess the thinking is if people boost now the may have waning efficacy just as the circulation is getting heaviest.

Itâs interesting to see the wide variety of recommendations out there. CA/US are basically recommending everyone 6 months and older get boosted (although as above it appears ONT and perhaps more widely in CA, theyâre saying hold off a bit), while much of EU, UK, AU are only broadly recommending it for senior citizens, and only for younger folks who are immunocompromised or have other special reasons to get boosted.
There is very mixed advice from the doctors in Ontario who are not speaking on behalf of the government. Most of the ones I follow are encouraging people to get boosted as soon as they can.
Good luck!
My appointment at RiteAid was just cancelled too. 
Iâm glad I knew that this was happening to other people so it came as no surprise. Any protection it might have given me likely would not have kicked in in time for my trip anyway.
We successfully got the newest version of the COVID vaccine today, after having our appointments cancelled last week (CVS, Massachusetts). Useful explainer here from The New York Times (gift link) in case anyone else has run into a bump in the road like we did.
I was supposed to get it on Sunday (this was the rescheduled date) but CVS in Waltham cancelled on me again. So frustrating.
Got mine this afternoon. I have decamped to my freshly made sickbed, sprayed with lavender of course, to await side effects. Gonna zzzzz out now. Got ibu, Tylenol, and a big Yeti mug of ice water on the nightstand. Iâm as prepared as I can be. Glad I got it, of course.
I think mine wasnât cancelled because the pharmacy I go to is right next to a very nice senior condo complex. They probably ordered a lot. There was a couple with walkers who came in right after me.
My wife is watching 4 football games at the same time.
Might be time for an intervention.
I read about the âwedgieâ, which was actually quite a gruesome injury requiring surgery. Yikes.
When I was a kid, weâd run around the house to find things, anything, to pour into a bottle as a âpotionâ. (yes we were lucky we didnât set off some sort of dangerous reaction).
We didnât add cucumbers. Or curry powder. Or buttermilk.
No. Iâll stick with gazpacho, or the late, lamented chilled ConsommĂŠ Madrilène
Seems like the long way around Robinâs barn, but IMHO the flavor combo works. A cousin to a favorite of ours, cold pink cucumber soup. = Blitz cucumber, cooked beets, beef broth, sour cream, dill.
It might be surprisingly good - Iâd give it a try.
More like, âWHAT?â Retro for sure.

This has sparked the curious nature of mine to dive into my retro cookbook collection; Iâm thinkinâ 1950âs, Life Magazineâs cookbook for the original? Iâll see if I can find itâŚ
