Got my first dose of Pfizer vaccine today. Signed up this morning (on my phone) around 9:30am Wed April 28th, and slots were open starting at 10am onwards every 15 mins or so. Plenty of spots open. Came back at 1pm for my 1:15p appt. Checked in at the little desk when you first walked in, the girl working was super nice and friendly, filled out the little vaccine card and brought me to one of the makeshift private cubbies where the nurse*? administered the shot. Sat down, confirmed info and the shot was a second or two. Felt absolutely no pain! I'm a big baby too, but not even a pinch. They have a private area set up to wait 15 mins to make sure you're feeling OK, then you can head out.

This is the worst pharmacy ever. They literally never answer the phone; they leave you on hold for 20 minutes and then pick up the phone and hang up on you; you can literally hear them in the background. Or, if you’re lucky, they pick up the phone quickly and don’t event acknowledge you, they just hang up. I have tried to call them for three days. This is honestly insane.

If you call the front desk, they say they’ll help and then just cycle you through. They never have stock and always fill prescriptions late. Use literally any other pharmacy; taking my business to Altru...
