You have never been to Porterville with it's long white sandy beaches, tropical surroundings and relaxed island atmosphere? I know...it's a dream...wake up David! We were filming an episode of "6 hours in Porterville." I know you can't wait to see this exciting production. I am giving them 5-stars because they had availability for a Pfizer Covid Vaccine so I got one last Friday when I stopped in. And the woman who administered it was as nice as can be. Now I bet you are saying, David! you are going to have to drive back there for the 2nd in 3 weeks! No, no, no--they got me an appointment for the 2nd close to where I live. Although if you have ever been to Porterville--you may want to come back here and stay at the Ritz Carlton Porterville. About the CVS Store: Not as well stocked as a CVS store in LA. Large free and easy parking. Just as easy to get your bicycle stolen here as in LA (see my pic). I asked the CVS woman who checked me in for the Vaccine how it went for her? She said--I am not getting the Vaccine unless they make me. I don't trust it. I asked here if she gets the Flu vaccine? Nope. (If I worked in a drug store with sick people coming in all day I would definitely consider getting vaccines.) Next door is a Starbucks with outdoor seating--I hung out there a bit. Across the street is The Habit. They told me that they have a new freezer just for the Covid Vaccines and plan to administer them here for a long time.

Now that COVID vaccines are much more accessible, I went online to look for an apppointment…read more CVS (not the one in Target) had next-day appointments. I made mine, checked in, was brought back with zero wait time. I never even felt the injection of the first dose. Coming back in two weeks to finish up. Since we all need to be vaccinated, this is a great choice for quick and easy care.

I pulled the original pharmacist aside and told him my situation and my daughters meds were out in 5 mins! All they had to do was label it & mix it. Seriously ridiculous!!

If I could I would give it 0 stars. I came in today with my family to get some beer and one of the…read moreworkers claimed we couldn't buy it because we all touched it.
