My wife and I have appointments for the vaccine this be Thursday! [View all]

It took an hour and a half, but it’s done. I decided to check to see if any of the local HyVee pharmacies had any appointments at about 4 PM. I do it periodically and they always say No Appointments Available for all of the locations. Suddenly, the Johnston store had tons of appointments all week. I got signed up, printed out the confirmation, and signed my wife up for the appointment immediately after mine. That’s when the fun began.

The system refused to accept the application. We tried several times and then called HyVee. Their advice? Clear out your application and start again. Oh joy! We did, but by then we couldn’t even get to the list of stores. After an hour, we could get to the store, but couldn’t get to the list of appointment times. Finally, we were able to fill out the form again, but it took three tries before it was accepted.

Finally, we have appointments for the first and second Pfizer shots, and it was all luck, and a lot of perseverance.
