My understanding is many of the vials have an extra 2 or 3 doses in them (supposed to be 10 per vial but many have more than that) and so if they have extra doses or scheduled people do not show up for appointment they will call you and you have 30 minutes to get there to get your shot.
We have had at least 3 people at work here get the vaccine that way, this is a real thing you can do if you are interested.
When you call WalMart do not use the covid info selection on the automated answering options, you want to talk to the pharmacy directly and tell them you want to be on the call list.
I imagine availability will depend on where you live but give it a shot if interested. (pun intended)

My pharmacist friend has been doin that for a few months. He would have some extra doses and just go out in the waiting room and ask for volunteers. He got yelled at by the owner about it. Told him he wasn't throwing any away and just to deal iwht it.
