I work for an urban hospital and they contacted me to schedule an appointment, even though I don't work with patients. I'm assuming this is because not all front-line workers chose to get vaccinated and it wasn't mandatory. When my husband finally became eligible, I spent a week checking my hospital, all the pharmacies and zocdoc.com, multiple times a day, with no luck. Then I discovered that the particular time of day made a difference with my hospital. Early in the morning and late afternoon there would be no appointments. But mid-morning, appointments suddenly appeared for that day only in the afternoon and evening. So he now has his first dose. But he doesn't understand why his co-workers in the suburbs were able to schedule an appointment a week in advance and he had to be ready to go that day.

The Walgreens near me refreshed appointments around 6 a.m. I happened upon it on accident. However, several other people in my area noticed it, too. I just went to Walgreens because that was the first available. My local Reddit had a lot of good tips on finding a vaccine.
I had signed up for my county vaccination site and my health care provider, too. A couple weeks after I had gotten my first shot, I got notification to make an appointment with both the county and my health care provider. I also got a notification from work that I could get one there the following week. |

Thanks, Deb!
I found my DH's appointment through Walmart! I have yet to get mine scheduled, but my state finally opened eligibility up to everyone over 16, so I will be looking actively now for myself and my DD. Great idea about the cancellation list, too!! Donna |
