I received my flu shot about a month ago at Walgreens.They are free at the Health Dept, but it’s a long drive on the other side of town and long lines. I saw a sign at one of the grocery stores advertising free flu shots but that was two weeks after I got mine.
Here's my experience in Southern California:
A long line of people, some to fill prescriptions, some to pick up prescriptions, a lot of them to get flu shots.
For flu shot people, we first registered, and were told to wait for our names to be called to fill out paperwork, estimated wait time 30 minutes. I waited mostly outside to avoid mingled people. I came back in about 20 min later to ask if they called my name. They did. Gave me paperwork to fill out, I filled out and turned it in, then was told wait time is another 30 minutes to get the shot. I again went outside to wait because there were so many people at the counter, coming and going for various activities, some were not wearing their masks correctly (only on their mouth). I got the shot eventually and practically ran out of the store.
I wish Covid vaccines could be administered outside. In a tent with at least one side fully opened, and registering, paperworks, and shots done all at once.
