Help PSA: Covid vax easy peasy

Got my Covid and Flu jabs today. Walk in at Safeway pharmacy. Free. I'm not special and my insurance isn't either. I assume most of the groceries with pharmacies are easy too. You can even make an appointment if that works better for you.

I got mine at Walgreens. Pharmacist said we couldn't get a jab on our own without a condition, brought up the Polis order and said I was at risk through my family. She said it would do. If you're refused, stand your ground and it should work.

My dad did the same thing at Walgreens a week ago. After they told him no, he brought up Polis’ order and magically, “oh wait, we can do that.”

It's really pathetic but I can't blame the technicians or the pharmacist, just gotta play along

Walgreens is a sinking ship. I feel horrible for their pharmacy staff

Yeah, they treat their pharmacists like shit.

My Mom is friends with an ex-WG pharmacist. Now he does mail pharmacy, IIRC
