Walgreens — Local services in Warsaw

I’m late in posting this.Better late rather than never.The experience goes like this.I had an international trip in June last year. I wanted to get my son vaccinated for Covid before the travel. He is 8 years old. CDC had just approved the vaccination for 5+ years. I took an appointment online and also made sure that they have the vaccine as well as pharmacist can provide the vaccine before I left home. Upon reaching,there was super frowning pharmacist, looked very junior. She could not understand anything. Asked my insurance card and ran it through and came back stating your insurance does not support. All Covid vaccines are free. The cost is borne by Federal Govt. I asked to talk to her supervisor she was more intelligent and told we don’t know whom to bill as the insurance is not allowing. We came back home. Called my company’s insurance and they were more intelligent and told me for such a small kid they don’t have any information. Frustrated I called Walgreens of Fortwayne. They scheduled and had to drive down there. No questions asked they administered the vaccine.

In the meantime I had researched and made sure I have the printout of cdc website which stated the vaccine cost is borne by the Federal Govt.

I just asked FWA walgreen why was I refused at Warsaw Walgreen. The answer was “lack of knowledge anybody on this land of this Great Nation is eligible for a vaccine provided he is approved for his age to get a covid vaccine. Even if you have come from Mars you will get the vaccine. It is completely wrong to refuse anyone.”

I would have given zero to Warsaw walgreen who made me travel 100 miles up and down to get a covid shot just because they are not aware of the rules due to Lack of training, and lack of empathy of the pharmacists . Never...

I very rarely write reviews, but I'm beyond frustrated and feel that people should know the current situation with the pharmacy at this location before directing their prescriptions here. Likely due to staffing shortages, this store's pharmacy is FREQUENTLY closed or closing early without advanced notice. There is limited, if any, advanced notice. Any notice is almost exclusively via a sign posted AT THE STORE. So you don't know until you try to pick up a potentially critical medication. I usually pick up my prescription multiple days ahead of when I need them, so I've been able to work around their seemingly random schedule...until now. This location has been closed for the past 3 days which I didn't know until I tried to pick up the prescription after returning from an international trip. I had a prescription that I needed to take prior to an important cardiac test. I am now unable to get this prescription in time and have to reschedule this test which already had to be scheduled months in advance. This had always been my go-to pharmacy but I will be taking my prescriptions to somewhere that is...

I explained to this pharmacy that I don't want harassed by their daily calls and texts about my prescriptions. I explained that I am a nurse and don't want their input on what meds I refill and when. They LIED to my face and said, "We will put you on our 'no call list'"! Well, I continued to be harassed by them and upon confronting them again was told there was no such list! That there's nothing they can do about it. They were extremely rude and confrontational. I made them remove my phone number from their computer system. Then, the next time I picked up a script they asked for my name and phone number as an identification! I told them Indiana State Board of Health says that appropriate medical ID is your name and date of birth and that they will never get my phone number from me again. They were mad and rude when I refused to give them my phone number. They are rude about it every time I go in there to pick up a script. I would go elsewhere but my husband's insurance provides the best prices...
