Adventures in vaccination, RFK Junior Follies year one

[edschweppe]

I got my COVID booster today at the local Massachusetts CVS store; this time around, it was in the in-store Minute Clinic rather than at the main pharmacy/vaccination counter.

Very easy online signup this time around, with plenty of same-day timeslots available. The signup form had a single "are you eligible for this vaccine y/n?" checkbox; no need for us under-65s to elaborate which official risk factors are applicable.

Very quick appointment as well: in, jab, and out. The nurse-practitioner wasn't masked, alas; however, they were running air filters in the little examining room.

Another win for Team Moderna.

I got Pfizer in the Lexington CVS on Friday (the only question I asked was to be sure it was the new one - I was given no choice about which company made it). In the regular store. One of the pharmacists (with a blue exam mask and purple gloves) gave it to me. I am of age so I didn't have to say anything about eligibility. I was interested to notice that the paperwork gave the name of a prescribing clinician - someone in Springfield, apparently. The one responsible for all CVS stores in the state?
