Editor,
I am really wondering where is the recommended bivalent booster vaccine, how can we deal with even making an appointment?
The news are big: health officials recommend bivalent booster, as per article in the Daily Journal, Aug.14. I have been trying for weeks to find a pharmacy with the vaccine. Finally, I got an appointment at CVS in Foster City for myself and the following day for my husband.
However, the following day CVS called telling us they ran out and have no date when to expect new delivery of the vaccine. The search starts again. Endless telephone calls, being told to make appointments online. What about elderly people who do not know how to use a computer and online booking? I went to Target at Bridgepointe Shopping Center and asked the pharmacist at CVS if they have the vaccine. The answer was: yes, but you have to book online. I went home hopefully and eager to make an appointment. There was nothing available in our area, only in Hayward or further away, also not before end of September. Well, we are the older generation and would like something convenient nearby, not driving many miles to find out eventually that they ran out too. Disappointed I called the CVS pharmacy at Target to ask why I was given the wrong information. I was on hold forever, thanking me for my patience. Alas, my patience gave up and I hung up.
This is a very frustrating situation. The United States sent $1.3 billion in small business COVID aid abroad and millions more for other “good causes.” Why can’t we take care of our own people in the United States?

Ms. Thiel, your body, your choice, so good luck in getting your booster. For others, there doesn’t seem to be much appetite for the experimental booster. Perhaps it’s because the booster hasn’t been tested on humans and folks don’t want to be guinea pigs for the pharma companies? Perhaps it’s because COVID jabs, whether one, two, three, or four haven’t prevented folks from contracting COVID? Perhaps because more reports come out each day showing the increasing number of side effects that jabbed folks experience? Or perhaps people have lost trust in the CDC and other health “officials” who have misinformed the lab rats known as the human race? BTW, in associated news, it appears Denmark is now barring people under 50 from receiving experimental jabs. What do they know that we don’t in taking care of their own people?
I was able to schedule an appointment through walgreens.com for next week.
