Yep. We made appointments at CVS for this Sunday but then found a better time through VAMS. Will be cancelling tomorrow.


Yep, I am holding 2 CVS appts and 3 walgreens appts. Once the dust settles we will choose the best one and cancel the others.


Jesus. You are definitely not one of those "opportunity hoarder" parents, eh?


None of them are near my house or at convenient times. I'd like to go this weekend, and if that doesn't work out, I'll take one of the pharmacy slots and cancel the rest.


WTF you are a horrible person.


I'm going to cancel the extras. Sorry you didn't wake up early to schedule.

Vaccine hunters are saying all of the Fairfax County Govt Center appts are being cancelled. They were not supposed to be loaded yet.

Yep, after waiting for a long time it finally loaded and showed me a slot that had an appt available and when I clicked on it is said it was being booked by others. This is so frustrating.


Why not bring them to one of the walk-up DC clinics? There will be tons and I don't see anything that limits them to DC residents.
