Confirmed appointments mean nothing to Walgreens
I confirm my appt with the Walgreens website online for 4 vaccinations (Covid, flu, pneumonia, and RSV), at my local Walgreens at 3:40pm on 8/14/23. 3:15 pm – I arrive (25 minutes early) and confirm my appt with the clerk. I am the only one there for vaccinations. The clerk then tells me they do not have the RSV vaccine! I ask why, if it was confirmed online and by email? She does not know. 3:40 pm – 25 minutes later, at my appt time, the clerk tells me I have a form to complete. She tells me it will come by email. 3:55 pm - The email has not arrived. I give her another email address to try and sends it to this second email address. It too never arrives. 4:00 pm – She asks for my ID and insurance. 4:05 pm – She finally prints out the form for me to complete. She tells me I only need to enter the vaccines I am to receive and then sign and date. She doesn’t notice that the form is in Spanish! (I don't read Spanish.) I complete the form as instructed. She returns it to me and tells me I must complete the entire form which is full of personal and medical questions. I point out to her that the form is in Spanish and I don’t read Spanish. I hand her the form and she goes to the back again. 4:20 pm – She finally comes back and hands me the form again to complete! This time it's in English. At this point, I've been at this Walgreens for over an hour, and they are no closer to being ready to give me my vaccinations than when I arrived. (During this entire time, no one else has received a vaccination either!) I've had enough, tell her so, and leave. (I will never go to Walgreens for a prescription or a vaccination again if I can avoid it.)
