down for Moderna #1 which i got at Kroger Pharmacy last week. At the time i was told i’d have to hunt around for the second shot about a week out from when i needed it but Kroger actually contacted me this weekend and set an appointment for it on 2/20.
The standard practice I've been getting reports about recently is that when you get dose #1 they make the second appointment for you on the spot during the 15/30 minute observation period. Essentially won't let you leave without having the dose #2 appointment. I wonder of Kroger has started doing that with new dose #1 patients. It seems to be essential for an effective vaccine rollout.
When our county health department (GA) opened up for online appointments it crashed after a day (and after my wife and I had appointments!). They shifted to phone appointments and announced people would have to call back for a second appointment time after they got their first shot. That seemed remarkably dumb and I was hoping that in the 10 days before we got the first shot that would change. It did and they gave us #2 appointment time as we were leaving from #1. We'll be getting #2 in 10 days...
