(484 posts)Were in Orange County, CA.
Getting signed up for the appointment was horrible. The online system was really primitive and buggy. It took 2 weeks just to get in their database, but that was back at the beginning of Feb, maybe its better now. Once we were in the system, everything went like clockwork. We were notified about possible appointments and given a range of dates and times to choose from.
Went to a super site at Soka University way down in south county about 25 miles from our home. The first time we parked and walked into their gymnasium where the floor was covered with individual stations for the shot and they set-up the second appointment while you were getting the first poke. There were virtually no lines, just a steady stream of people coming in and going out. It took less than 25 minutes from parking the car to driving out.
Three weeks later we went back to Soka for the second shot but theyd set up drive-thru vaccination by then. A bit more waiting in the car line, but we were done in less than 35 minutes with our cards marked for both shots. (It took longer to get my flu shot at the pharmacy this year!)
Both times everyone was helpful, cheerful and attentive. All directions were clearly marked with big signs/arrows plus a real human standing by to answer questions and help you figure out what to do next.
We were impressed.
