    Drive thru Flu shot clinic

    Nice concept, minimal covid risk. Don't go after 3pm when the kids are out of school. I was behind 30 minivans packed with kids. Even with 6 shot stations it took me 25 minutes to get mine. I was done in less that a minute once I got up there.

    Did mine at a drug store when I stopped in to pick up a script. Five minutes, tops.

    I got mine about a month ago at the doctor's office during a normal check up---my wife got hers there yesterday. Now we need to get our second shingles shot--that has to be at the pharmacy.

    I have Kaiser, shots are free, but you have to do it their way. I was between pickups in the paratransit van so I was getting paid to wait.

    I've not had a flu shot in 30 years and don't plan to this year either. I figure with everyone masked up and washing / sterilizing everything due to the vid the risk is lower this year.

    I got mine yesterday at the local grocery store pharmacy and the good thing about it is they throw in a $10 gift card.

    Costco was out of geezer strength but Walgreens just received a supply, so we are vaccinated!

    Daughter employer is doing a drive through shot clinic, staff is back in building on a 25% rotation so drive through gets the 75% who are teleworking that day.. the instructions were hilarious, wear short sleeves, have arm out of window.. if right arm required, be on passenger side.. instructions were so basic that they were funny.. but, they will have some folks who don’t understand basic..

    Why would one arm be required over another??

    I guess some people have a personal preference---it seems they always ask me which arm I want it in

    Trump endorsed flu shots, so there’s no way in hell I will get one.
