CVS Covid vaccine

I am trying to schedule an appointment for the COVID 19 vaccine in Virginia. Per the VDH and the CDC, people with chronic health conditions should be included in the 1b vaccinations. Yet, when I try to schedule it only states 65+ can get the vaccine in this group. When I called the CVS helpline I was advised to lie about my age in order to get into the 1B group. Additionally, the site wants you to check that your submission is accurate to your age which can put you in jeopardy of stating, as directed by CVS helpline, of lying.

I have a doctors note stating that I really need to get this vaccine. Again, I ask, why is the group with underlying health conditions not included in the 1b vaccinations?

Can you please update your website for scheduling to include underlying health conditions as directed by the CDC and state guidelines.

Desired outcome: Critical updates to the CVS website.

Michael at store 9943 was absolutely out of line. I tried to use a $2 off coupon for my husbands purchase, michael said nope not on alcohol, which the coupon doesn't say, so I asked him where does it specify that? He told me I have to be smart! I said excuse me?! He said, you have to be smarter than the receipt! I said did you really just say that to me?...

CVS Employee complaint - Paige Lehman Store #9213 - extremely concerned customer

Good Evening,

I am a regular customer at your store #9213 on Ellsworth & Brown as well as my daughters. This evening my girls came in to your store to buy nail products for their "girls night" and noticed they were being closely followed everywhere they went. They were both very uncomfortable by this and asked the young lady "why are you following us". The young lady responded that she was just doing what she was told by her manager, then said that she was the manager - Paige Lehnman. One of my girls responded that she is a paying customer and comes here often and their was no reason to follow them. Paige then lunged towards my daughter who was knelt down looking at polish and tried to grab her items from her hands and told them they have to leave. My daughters didn't respond in the best way however Paige was way out of line. I will not return unless I know she is no longer at that location. You are more than welcome to contact me on my person cell if you need any further information. 480.229.7073 Sheila Brown.

CVS COVID Vaccination -- CVS Site Does Not Permit Users to Schedule Available Apppointments

Issue: I am unable to schedule an available appointment in Virginia.

Actions taken for timeframe beginning at 12 am, 2/13/21

1. I accessed cvs.com > Covid-19 Vaccines portal > Virginia
2. I used (am using) two computers and operating systems since that is how I got to view appointments for the first time on 2/12/21.
3. All Viginia appointments were unavailable until approximately 4:30 am., when the system updated and all Virginia sites showed an "Available" status. (See attached screenshot: "Appointments have been available ...")
4. Since then, only Harrisonburg has had a status change to Fully Booked. ("See attached screenshot: "Harrisonburg is the ..."
This suggests that others have been able to book appointments either on the site or via the phone.
5. Upon clicking "Schedule an appointment now" for available appointments, I receive a message that all appointments are booked. (See attachment: "This is the window ..."
6. I have been on the customer service line for 50 minutes as of this sentence attempting to book an appointment via phone. The elapsed time of this call is displayed in the previous screenshots according to the time I took the shots.

Desired outcome: Book an appointment with CVS for a Covid-19 vaccination

On February 4, 2021, around 11:30am I went to get several prescriptions filled up at CVS, 1443 Richmond Rd, Lyndhurst, OH. As I was waiting in front of the window, I saw an employee manipulating pills with bare hands - no gloves. She was transferring pills from a large container into a funnel. When pills got stuck, she put her hand into the funnel, moved...

CVS Policy

February 9, 2021

Dear Sir or Madam:

This afternoon I had the unfortunate experience of attempting to pay by phone to your pharmacy on 10901 West Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia, for a breathing apparatus, together with a prescription, for my son who has Covid-19, is unable to make the trip himself and sent a friend, and was having difficulty breathing. Your staff member in the pharmacy, siting company policy, refused to allow me to make the payment and therefore risked the life of my son if we had no other way to pay for it. I live 250 miles away. I use my card to pay any and all of my bills by calling and giving the numbers over the phone every month and have done so for years. Your point of sale is grossly faulty in that it cannot receive a payment over the phone. It defies reason. Can it be that your staff member is misunderstanding your policy?

I realize that there is a risk of accepting a fraudulent payment, but I believe there should be a legal disclaimer of some kind so that a third party can pay for a prescription by phone in the case of a life or death issue. Having a policy that restricts commerce in this wise is unconscionable; it is self-defeating and thwarts the reason you are in business in the first place. We are in an emergency situation in this country and your business is showing itself not tooled to handle it. Your uncomprehensive policy which limits the free access of a critical medication is at best unacceptable. I urge you to contact your legal team and determine a way to accept payments by phone that is safe for both you and the patient, or your most recent sales ad encouraging people to "Treat Yourself Well" is misleading and crumbling at its foundation.

Sincerely,

Mary Keith

Desired outcome: A sincere letter of apology and a promise to make an attempt to remedy the problem.

Ii was at one of your stores on January 1 2021. I was buying reduced Christmas decorations. The decorations was half price. The cashier charged me full price. Instead of returning the money he gives me a 5.00 extrabucks, he said no expired date so I said okay. I go to use it on 02/03/2021 the cashier said I can't use it because it has expired. I explained the matter, still no good. I want my money.

On 2/4/2021 went to drive through pharmacy for my son-in-law prescription pickup (he doesn't drive and is handicapped). The window service has a note that it is "broken" and "come inside", which I really don't want to do during a pandemic. That is my first complaint. Complaint #2: Inside and of course there is a line of 6 people in front of me. It's my...

I have been a long standing patient of this particular pharmacy. It changed over to cvs awhile ago, but recently it has become an absolute nightmare. Not only does the pharmacist act demeaning and sometimes downright rude, when I am getting my prescriptions filled, for many months, on and off, when it comes to the "controlled substances" only, they are out...

I received notification from my insurance agency that they were billed for a prescription for Wixela Inhub 100-50. I did not order this medication nor did I have it on automatic refill.
