COVID-19 BOOSTER EXPERIENCE REVIEW…read more My appointment was scheduled online through walgreens.com by my partner. We went to Walgreens together on the same day for our boosters. This was our first time getting a vaccination at Walgreen, let alone at a pharmacy. Here's the deal - A few days before your appointment, you get a confirmation email sent to the address used when you scheduled. The email contains your confirmation number for the appointment and instructions on what to do before and on the day of your appointment (get there 15 minutes earlier, wear a short sleeve shirt, bring your ID and vaccination card, and fill out a screening form). WHEN YOU GET TO THE STORE: - Walk to the back right of the store to the pharmacy. The pharmacy line starts along the wall to the right. (I saw some people take a seat without getting in line first thinking it's a different process for vaccines - it's not, so get in line to be seen and let them know you are there for a shot). - Have with you your government ID card, a copy or the actual vaccination card (which you will give to them to verify and later mark with proof of your visit/shot), and your medical/pharmacy insurance cards in case they need it (if you're not an already Walgreens customer in the system or your med/rx info needs updating). WHEN YOU GET TO THE PHARMACY COUNTER: - 1st time at counter: You'll give your 1) confirmation number from the email 2) your last name and birth date. They'll take your vaccination card from you, and then ask you to take a seat and wait for your name to be called. They are taking the vaccination card to verify the information before continuing with intake. - 2nd time at the counter: After they call your name to come to the counter, they'll hand you over a clipboard with the vaccination screening form (questions about symptoms, allergies to medicine, etc) to fill out. Take a seat and fill out the form, then hand it back to them when finished. You'll take a seat again and wait for your name to be called again. - 3rd time at the counter: They'll call your name and walk you over to the enclosed area where they administer vaccines. It's a small booth with high wall partitions and a door that closes. I noticed store noise is muffled and the space was clean. You'll take a seat, and the staff associate will have the needle, alcohol pad, and bandage for you. It's very quick. Then you're done.** ** you're supposed to wait 15 minutes after the shot to make sure no weird/sudden side effects, so I recommend taking a seat again for that time just in case you leave the store and something happens. Err on the side of caution. IN SHORT: Overall, an easy and fairly smooth process. My advice would be to schedule your appointment when the pharmacy would be less busy because it's one wait line, so you're in line with people getting their prescriptions and walk-ins, so your TOTAL WAIT TIME WILL VARY - even though you have an appointment time - depending on how busy it is. For example, I was through within about 25-30 minutes. My partner was there for an hour. Our appointments were separated by 15 minutes, but there was an influx of customers who came in when he was just getting in queue.

I think we spent more time circling the block trying to find a parking spot (either on the street…read moreor in the store's small lot) than actually in the store itself. We were able to find what we wanted - eventually. The layout isn't really obvious, and the signs weren't always easy to see. The carpeting looks like it could use a good cleaning too. But this is still probably the best place to visit in the area for your pharmaceutical and convenience needs.

Popped in here to drop off some old medication (great job having a small box for old…read moredrug/prescription drop-off, wish every pharmacy site had this). The trip was efficient, but they did have a couple pan handlers at the exit of the doorway that you needed to step over their things around the exit. They should keep that area clear. This location has a parking lot.

My last visit here was very mixed. I needed some medication in a pinch and it was late like 1am…read moremaking the 24 hour service here very convienient. So I called first to make sure they had it and was hung up on, when I called back I got someone friendlier. So I go over and don't see it and when I go for help and the store staff I find is having a very in depth conversation with his co worker he was clearly annoyed I needed help. He also was clearly high as he had bloodshot eyes and found the medication I needed rather funny and tried to joke about it with me. When I wasn't laughing he directed me to see a different associate, who then directed me to the pharmacy and finally spoke with someone who was friendly and helpful so that was the shining part of the visit. Also coming here by day is alright but that last visit was not their best.

When I talk to the staff on the phone I get different responses each time, "We get it from the warehouse we don't know when your RX will be in" "Well get your prescription tomorrow" "it should come on a weekday" and until now nothing. I've been calling them everyday since June 11th for this prescription for them to continue to give me the runaround. Today, I called and they simply picked up the phone and hung up, so while on my break at work I called again, I was left on hold for about 20 minutes and when I did get somebody they were very snarky. I asked if my medication was in stock, then waited while they were checking, to then be told for the 14th time that it's not, with no update on when it will be. Then as I went to ask another question, without a goodbye or a have a good day, I was hung up on. It made me feel like the pharmacy did not care or have my best interest in mind, I've missed two doses of my medicine without an alternative option provided and no help from them. AVOID THIS WALGREENS.

I took my daughter here to get her 2nd Pfizer shot. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first…read morebecause of a pharmacy giving the shot but I am glad I came here. The front of the Parking lot is a tight spot but at least they have more parking at the side and street parking. It is a clean organized and neat place. They were quick and accommodating. They do COVID testing, antibiotics testing, rapid testing and vaccination shots. I recommend and if I ever need anything I will return.

Most of the other ones couldn't/ wouldn't give me an approximate cost for the prescription. However, this place did. The pharmacist was so nice when I asked about the approximate price. He told me to fax in the prescription and that he would call me back. Within 10mins I knew what it would cost and with an hour it was ready. I got to the pharmacy and they explained everything to me and how to use the prescription. The staff genuinely cares and truly helpful
