I got my flu shot today at Walgreens. I had tried to get it last Sunday but was told, in no uncertain terms, that I would have to make an appointment. I have never, in any other year, had to make a reservation for a flu shot. But, on Monday I went on line and registered and even printed out and filled in the required form. Which I dutifully turned in when I got there today. I mentioned to the nice young pharmacist who gave me my shot (quite painlessly) and slapped on the required red bandaid, that I had never had to have an appointment for a flu shot before. He said they have really been 'slammed' this week. I suppose that's true what with Covid shots and boosters and shingles and pneumonia shots as well as flu shots. While I was waiting my turn, without seeing anyone come out, an elderly couple came in (about my age) and signed in to be next after me. I guess that qualifies as 'slammed.' They evidently also had an appointment. My generation is good at following directions.
