basically go & just wait? for a no show
i can wait in line with the best of them ;)
Yeah, they went in mid-afternoon for the husband's appointment and apparently on that day that had already had enough cancelations or no-shows that she didn't even have to wait long for the vaccination.  This was at a CVS Pharmacy: they had a separate check-in process for appointments & wait-list (there was someone behind me at 5ish pm on Friday who was a wait-list person, and she got her shot right after I did).
There's a place in Carlsbad as well that I had heard about a few weeks ago, before teachers went live that had an all-day wait kind of thing for waitlist/waiting for extra at the end of the day.  From what I was told, it felt like a Comic-Con esque wait, with folks in folding chairs, some w/pop-up type tents, etc: from, like, 7am-5pmish.  I personally wasn't interested in that, oddly: I guess if they said there would be exclusive Marvel footage _then_ maybe I'd be into it?  :P

One of my San Diego (teaches in Poway, lives in Vista) friends did that too. Her mother in law (already vaccinated bc she's over 65) waited in line at a CVS for about 5 hours while the friend was teaching online, then when my friend was done she rushed over and waited the last hour or two herself. She said it was still easier/faster than going through the County.

Thanks for the update; I'm trying to keep track of as many stories as possible to try to gauge if I'll need to worry about taking a day or two off of work after my second dose.  I seem fine after the first (just a mildly sore arm), but from anecdotal evidence if feels close to 50/50 I'll have moderate side effects.  I know one person who said their effects from the 2nd dose were WORSE than when they actually got COVID-19!

I recommend taking a day off after your 2nd dose just in case you do have symptoms. I wrote about mine earlier. It was about a 24 hour process. If you can't take a day off, I'd try to get the jab very early in the morning so that hopefully by the next morning, you'll be fine to work.

Second shot yesterday morning. First one: sore arm. Second one: sore arm soon after; fever and chills started last night. Fever went up overnight. Headache this morning. I feel sick.

Hopefully it will be over soon!  I had a similar experience after the second dose and felt better by the end of the day after.

Grandma got her 2nd dose at Petco today.  I was worried about the weather but it turned out to be a non-event even with the lightning and thunder advisory.  Petco feels like it's spinning down.  It was pretty empty.  There was little or no waiting.  Some of the open check in lines didn't have any cars to check in.  The only wait we had was after check in to get directed into a chute.  That wait was only a couple of minutes at most.  They only do second doses now.  They are also only vaccinating at half capacity so that they can stay open everyday instead of shutting down some days due to vaccine shortages.

A friend read that you can call up some pharmacies like CVS, etc. right after lunch and see if they have any extras for the day.

There's at least one town in Arizona that has already done that.  Not enough people were coming in to get vaccinated so they lowered the criteria to 18 and over, no other requirement.

Grandma is over 24 hours since her 2nd dose.  No side effects at all.  Not even redness or soreness at the injection site.
