Covid Vaccine Finder

Anyone having trouble finding a place to get a shot? I tried to use the missouri covid vaccine site and it was literally awful. Found the above website much more helpful. It allows you to search for the different vaccines.

I was able to get the J&J vaccine about 20 minutes from me. All I had to do to get the shot is fill out an online account for the pharmacy and take an assessment. Said I have a medical condition (high blood pressure) and that's all it took. All I had to do was show up and bring my driver's licenses. Was in and out in 10 minutes.

If you have Walgreens in your area, create an account, log in, search for your city/zip then work your way further out until you find openings. Got my first shot yesterday using that approach.

Great advice.

Also if you have a relationship with a doctor or clinic use it.

I called my doctor said I wanted it, and I had an appointment like three days later.

And for the record, there are all types of people getting vaccinated. Young, Old, different ethnicities. If you want one, just go get one.

Yep. I was wasting my time searching the state site by my zip code and signing up on overflow sites.

Walgreens took my out of state drivers license (I'm renewing it in state when it expires next month) with no questions asked. IMO, its a numbers game so there's one more vaccinated person walking around. Plus each location in this area had 20+ some appts available everyday this week.

Not sure how useful this it, but FYI it exists: https://twitter.com/kcvaccinewatch

It's a lot easier now that the production and rollout is up. The problem in some areas was the temp requirement of both the Moderna and Pfizer. Not a lot of places have the deep freeze needed for those.
Glad to hear more of you are getting shot up.

Not sure how useful this it, but FYI it exists: https://twitter.com/kcvaccinewatchIt's very useful. Turn on notifications.

[Sure-Oz]

If you register at the mo gov site and your local county they've been sending emails lately of appointments too.

[Marco Polo]

It's nowhere to be found in Denver, sigh.

I heard that Colorado just went to 50 and older. Haven't looked to confirm yet.

[BWillie]

Will it work for 30 somethings living in Kansas who provide nothing of value to society?

[KCUnited]

Walgreens asked zero questions, they don't care. Just book online and show up.

This is how I got it. Follow them on Twitter and turn on notifications from them. Have to be quick, appointments fill in 5 minutes or less.

Interesting. Looks like the same for KS and MO. Maybe because Walgreens is headquartered in IL we have more availability.

So they'll just post they have extra spots to fill, you sign up that day and just show up regardless of if you are actually eligible yet or not?

It posts when appointments become available, they just fill up within minutes because everyone is trying to sign up.

I used to just try to look up available appointments and thought it was weird there was never any available anywhere. Then I found out they are available daily, just fill up ridiculously fast.

When I signed up it was an appointment for the next day. They also didn’t ask/care if I was eligible, but I was eligible anyways.

[Titty Meat]

If you go to Walmarts site at Midnight that is when they release the openings for the following week. Make sure you have an account and be fast because they all fill up within 5 mins.

[notorious]

Signed up for our local place, and it rejected me because I'm 43 and healthy.

There are easily enough shots here to do everyone, but we have to wait until whoever decides it's time to move to the next stage. Sigh.

What state are you in? Walmart wasnt checking anyone just asked for ID

Ks.

Walmart is backed up forever on the "want" list.

Besides, I hate that fucking place. :D

[RustShack]

Mine was at Hy-Vee.

Reading your posts, I think you should be more worried about AIDS.

[Pitt Gorilla]

We used this website. It's pretty great.

I scheduled mine in KS (Shawnee County) a couple days ago. I'm nearly 40 - and pretty healthy, but the phase dictates "other medical conditions", a couple of which I qualified for.

Smoker - it even lists cigars. I smoke a cigar about once a week.
BMI over 25. I'm sitting pretty at 25.8.

I've got no other medical "conditions", and i'm not a critical worker, so take that FWIW.

I need to gain weight or start smoking to get in, damnit.

I LIVE TOO CLEAN OF A LIFE.

IL been showing zero appts at Walgreens for most of the day now.

Maybe its a timing issue or people got wise to the game.

Here's several places in the metro area that have the J&J vax in stock. If you all don't mind driving down my way we have appts available all over. I scheduled my appt yesterday at noon and had my shot at 430 the same day. Fiance scheduled last night and had her shot at 10 am.

[ThyKingdomCome15]

Take this shot and and shove it.

[BWillie]

Oh ok.

[Chieftain]

The website in the opening post is what I used as well. The easiest way to book an appointment is after Midnight.

[Gravedigger]

Didn't find any on the Covid finder site so I went to CVS to schedule mine, had to drive to Sedalia to get it but it was worth it.

[Spott]

I used something called Armorvax to find an appointment. I don’t know if that’s available in every state or just certain ones, but I finally got an appointment next Tuesday 80 miles away. Finding an open slot reminded me of the old days of calling Ticketmaster when Chiefs/concert tickets would go on sale, and you’d have to keep calling over and over until you didn’t get a busy signal.

I think in a couple of weeks most states are going to the model of anyone over 18 can get the vaccine.

[Saulbadguy]

Yeah, got a dad bod going on. I used to be obese about 8-9 years ago - BMI of 36. I've kept it in the 24-26 range the past 5 years or so.

Another "take this fwiw" - I just received my first jab, and they didn't ask me any questions in related to my weight or smoking.

[Rain Man]

I'm in, baby. Next Tuesday is my first shot. I just got the call from my healthcare provider.

[BigRedChief]

Oh, I had them shove it right into my arm.

[KCUnited]

Looks like you have to keep checking the Walgreens site. Appts available in KCMO right now.

Won't let me zero in on exact locations since my account is linked to IL

Got an appointment for our whole family next Monday through Hyvee service.
We're getting to visit the Negro Leagues Museum as a bonus!:D

I love dad bods

[vonBobo]

The location I went to was also not checking IDs or pre existing. Just temp at the door. And I appreciate that, last thing those people need to be doing is running patients through eligiblity... My license this, or my doctor that, or this website says.... None of that. Name, "address", and jab.

Got lucky, a facebook friend posted an overage at a church just 10 mins from me.

[Titty Meat]

Looks like theres currently openings for vaccines at the negro leagues:

Not sure how many of you this applies to, but any veteran, and their family, can get it at the VA clinic as of now.

[Stewie]

When I specify Pfizer or Modena the options decrease. No hurry, but would like to start the process this week. I'm in Kansas.

[Brody Wa]

I wonder I’d I screwed the pooch with getting my first dose of Moderna instead of holding out for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.. Does anyone know off hand if there is any rankings amongst the vaccines?

I googled which vaccine is better and this was the first site that came up.

Moderna's efficacy is 95%. J&J is ~70%

Other than the requirement of a second shot, I'd say you did pretty well.

https://i.imgur.com/Ze7OHgd.jpg?1I heard today that 90% of all Americans 18+ Year olds nationwide will be eligible for the vaccine in 3 weeks.

[TribalElder]

pfizer or moderna

[BigRedChief]

Staples and Office Depot’s in our area are laminating vaccine cards for free. Don’t know if it’s a nationwide thing or not.

[Giant Octopodes]

I heard today that 90% of all Americans 18+ Year olds nationwide will be eligible for the vaccine in 3 weeks.

Yeah but it's important to remember that "Eligible For" is not the same as "Able to get". I expect that really means they'll just be able to be on a list and if they're very, very lucky they'll get their number called, which is not a substantial change from the current status. I hope I'm wrong but I'm not predicting on demand you can make an appointment and within a week get a vaccine until August at the earliest based on what I've heard regarding supply and distribution rates. It would be awesome if it was substantially earlier though.
