Showing Original Post only (View all)Made a social call to a friend who happens to be a doctor & she opened with "There's a HUGE Covid outbreak"... [View all]
Says the virus is mutating fast. She went on at a fair clip about making sure to get your flu and Covid vaxes asap, before I could even say why I called. Said she was making it her mission to get every person she knows in my age group to do it immediately, so she was answering every phone call like this.
Whew.
Were in California.
My husband and I are having our annual physicals in Nov, which I think is too far away for the boosters, which we can usually get as walk-in patients. The docs office is out. We can get shots over at Costco, but they just ran out. Best guess is several days but its a guess.

I got mine at a CVS pharmacy--free since I've over 65. Also free if you have pre-existing conditions.
