I wouldn't recommend and here's why
I wouldn't recommend and here's why: My children were scheduled for their first Covid vaccine midweek, at 3 PM on Fort Street in Wyandotte, Michigan. They would not administer the vaccine for free; it had to go through my children's private insurance first. I received the vaccine via the Health department and my booster at Meijers and neither asked for insurance. In addition, they only had one person capable of giving the vaccines AND that same person was the ONLY pharmacist on site. I was told that such an understaffed situation is considered current company policy. The pharmacist was doing his FULL pharmacist responsibilities AND administering a full load of 6-12 patients/ hour covid injections. As a result, it took over an hour past my children's scheduled appointment time for their injections to be completed. How do you think a 6yo with ADHD and a 8yo did waiting for that long?? In addition, all they had was a screen, no place for coats, no enclosed room. My 6yo kicked down the screen as I was the only one willing to help restrain him and then sprinted off straight out the automatic front doors. He screamed bloody murder and it scared the other six children still waiting because they saw and heard it all. I'm writing this because Wallgreens seems absolutely unprepared for administrating pediatric covid vaccines. They are horribly understaffed, could reduce waiting times by having a better system of monetary reimbursement, and an enclosed space since children aren't adults. If I were the pharmacist, I'd be finding a new job my current mission, 100%.
