FYI—I'm not seeing any pediatric availability for the new covid shots in my area—or anywhere in the US I've checked with vaccines.gov. It looks like those are maybe running behind the adult shots, logistically.

ETA: A locked account notes that Walgreens says they'll be booking peds starting on the 29th: https://www.walgreens.com/topic/promotion/covid-vaccine.jsp

Idk if that will be true for other sites as well, but Walgreens and CVS at least tend to run parallel.

@kissane Extremely irritated that we have to wait two weeks, since we've been notified of two COVID cases among families in our kid's preschool this year already.

@kissane i was able to book my 10 year old for sunday at a seattle safway

@kspaziani Oh nice! Were you able to confirm that it's the new shot? Sometimes our grocery chains are slow on the website updates.

kspaziani,
@kspaziani@techhub.social avatar

@kissane no but i was told that it’s no longer legal(?) to distribute the old one since it was deauthorized. I will be verifying in person however

kissane,
@kissane@mas.to avatar

@kspaziani Oh yeah, they wouldn't actually give it to you/your kid. I'm just wondering if their appointment system is synced with their actual supply—we've gone to appointments before and then been sent home for this reason.

@kissane ah thank you! I was wondering as I couldn’t book for my kid and didn’t know why

@kissane Our pediatrician suggested we go to a chain drug store to get shots for our kids because they would be getting them well before our local clinics.

kissane,
@kissane@mas.to avatar

@DJTentMode Oh yeah, that's definitely been the case for the past few rounds. Walgreens and CVS always get them in, and around then or shortly after, our grocery and Rite Aid. Our pediatrician's office never got a shipment of the boosters last year, at all.

@kissane Following up - Walgreens canceled our appointments today. They must not have gotten their doses. 😭

@kissane@mas.to avatar

@DJTentMode I'm so sorry! The logistics are a real trainwreck rn.

@kissane Already have it rescheduled. It is just a matter of time!

@kissane Same. I can't schedule anything for my 10 year old, but had no problem getting appointments for my older two kids.

@bw Just edited with an update from Walgreens—booking starting 9/29.

@kissane That's encouraging! Thank you!
