I had a good experience here before for a COVID test, so I decided to go here for a a COVID…read morebooster, since CVS seemed to need a week or more of notice to sign up. Great, 1-day scheduling!
Not great? Their need for oversharing. They want my SSN, AND a copy of my driver's license (a picture, not just the number). When I fill out a form in the doctor's office, I don't mind so much, because that probably gets digitized badly if at all, but this was an annoying on-line form (even if you go to their office you are going to be doing it on your phone--ugggh!)
...Now I get it, they are a place that is used to dealing with, well "Perps". (Drug testing, paternity testing, gosh knows what else.) People being forced to use this companies services by the courts, their employers, or their sports team. In other words, people who have no choice.
Well, I'm not a perp, I do have a choice. I am a person who would rather pull his pants down (bending over backwards mind you) than to share this info with people I don't know. Quick--- would you give me your email, mobile number, home address, birthday, SSN, and image of your license if I met you on the street? No? What are you hiding? I won't do anything with it...
I didn't think so-- start standing up for yourself, walk out like I did, eventually they will stop demanding pointless info the nurse does not even know why they are collecting.
I found Costco will do a next-day appointment for a Moderna booster as well, and they don't require ANY SSN or driver's license. I'm sure Walmart, and all the other pharmacies don't either, because they don't treat their customers like perps.
