If you're like me, I have been looking online using the MN Vaccine Locater and have not able to book an online appointment at pharmacies like CVS, Cub, or Walgreens until another two weeks at the earliest. On campus, resources like Boynton Health and Campus Clinics are fully booked online until January. As the holidays are closely approaching, I am eager to get my booster shot, so I have time to allow my body to build immunity over the next two weeks. Recently, I know students have met success with walk-ins (call ahead to make sure the location accepts walk-ins), as well as online scheduling through CVS Minute Clinics. I was able to go to Hennepin County Public Health Clinic in downtown Minneapolis (next to the Armory) as a walk-in, with the option to receive any of the three vaccines. I had to register, but the entire process only took 30 minutes. I ended up getting a $50 gift card too! Best of luck navigating booster appointments and stay safe, y'all! Pandemic fatigue is real, but the best way for you to help and do your part is to be vaccinated. We are part of the solution, and we will get through this. |
