CVS Pharmacy

This review is for the COVID vaccination received from CVS.  The CVS Health employees were very efficient at this location. To register for the vaccine, go to their website to select a date and time that is best for you. Your second vaccine is scheduled during registration as well.

A text message will be sent to you an hour before your scheduled appointment. It will provide a link to check-in. It will only allow you to check-in 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment.  After you are able to check-in, proceed inside.  There you'll be greeted by a receptionist who will give you your vaccination card after your ID and insurance is verified. The card will show the date and type of vaccination received.

A line for the vaccination forms to the right of the receptionist. Social distancing is enforced and visible red dots are on the floor to assist you to maintain the proper social distance of 6' apart. The vaccination is administered in a small room where two CVS Health workers work efficiently.  Trust me, you won't feel the needle.

Afterwards, you'll be instructed to the post vaccine seating area to wait 15 minutes to monitor for any adverse reactions from the vaccination.  Seating is available and the CVS Health Worker in charge of the waiting area will instruct you as to when you can depart the area.   The chairs are spaced 6' apart and there about 9 chairs are available.

I was chatting with CVS Health Worker in charge of governing the 15 minute wait area and she mentioned to me that this was their second week of administering the COVID vaccination.

Hubby and I traveled a little over an hour to this site and they allowed me to utilize their restroom which is found on the first floor.

All the employees were very nice during this chaotic time.

Horrible pharmacy! I went to get my medicine on 12/14/23. They gave me the wrong pills so I brought them back and the pharmacist said he would order the correct ones and let me know when they arrive. After two weeks of waiting and they still don't have them I transferred my prescriptions to Walgreens across the street. Then I could not get my medication because cvs had billed my insurance for a 3 month supply that I had given back to them that same day. I went there today to get it fixed and the tech Petra S was rude and acting as if I am lying. The medication is Losartan and I use it to protect my kidneys because I have chronic kidney disease. She was acting as if it was a narcotic or something. Then she called the insurance in front of me or what I thought was my insurance company and told me it was fixed. I wait two hours before going to Walgreens only to be told it was still being denied. I call my insurance and I am told she never did the reversal so now I'm unsure of who she called. My insurance had to call the cvs to get the issue resolved in order for me to get my pills. Save yourself the hassle, frustration and irritation and just go to Walgreens across the street.

C-19 vaccination experience....

Thank you CVS for administering C-19 vaccinations. I followed the protocol of registering on nj.gov and waited my turn instead of fraining whatever to jump the line. Lo and behold my county does not have a megasite so appointments are very hard to come by. Scouring the web during the wee hours, netted back to back appointments for me and wifey at this location, which is 65+ miles from our home.

The appointments are made on-line and involve a few simple questions about yourself and insurance. Several confirmations and reminders are sent to you via email and text. A check-in link is sent to you an hour before your appointment. Check-in 15 minutes before your appointment and enter the building. ID and insurance are needed to move forward to the vaccination area. The process went smoothly and we were out the door in under 25 minutes. All staff involved with the vaccine process were professional and efficient.

Things happen for a reason, I always believe. Sure it was a ride but we received professional care from a team of great people.

Horrible customer service! Condescending when speaking to you. Will not offer GoodRx to lower prescription costs. Remember to ASK (everyone is eligible for GoodRx) otherwise you will pay the higher price! And they give you attitude for asking. Holy cow. Ha!

This CVS location has gone DOWNHILL‼‼. They give pickup times for prescriptions and when you arrive it's not ready. They mess up with prescriptions putting them on auto fill then you're not able to get your medication when you need it. I've missed 3 doses of a VERY important medication because they had it on auto fill and when my Doctor called in a new prescription they put it "on hold" and I wasn't able to get my medication‼. I called at 11 am and was told it would be filled in a couple of hours. I showed up almost SIX hours later only to be told they'd put a rush on it‼‼ A RUSH⁉⁉. I left and came back an hour later and was shorted 60 days of medication‼‼ it's a good thing I checked before leaving- I guess we can't multiply now⁉⁉. When I came back in I was told I'd have to wait AGAIN‼‼. I've been standing here for 15 min‼‼. No apologies or sense of urgency AT ALL. AND EVERYONES NOSES ARE UNCOVERED- masks UNDER NOSES AND MOUTHS‼‼

Covid 19 Booster! I got Phisher booster August 23rd at CVS. Looked at my record in CVS Health Portal the next day and it says I received 2nd dose. I gave them my Covid vaccination card which clearly notes 2nd dose as March 24, 2021 at a facility in Texas. No big deal right? I called the store
26059 Mission Blvd, Hayward, CA where I got the shot. Covanta and two others I talked to in the CVS pharmacy on Mission Blvd. said there was nothing they can do to correct record. I spoke to Covanta twice; first time she transferred me the second time connection got bad and she couldn't hear me. She hung up the phone. Really? Those are the same people that incorrectly typed in "2nd dose". What in the hell is wrong with people? I have spent more than 3-hrs. on the phone with several CVS Departments, been transferred, hung up on and just put on hold. I still do not have any resolve. I am suppose to call 888-702-2005 tomorrow. Good Lord... Advise to the wise, just get the vaccine at your doctors office or somewhere reputable that you can actually talk to someone that cares.

The pharmacists and techs and store personnel are wonderfully attentive, warm and welcoming. Besides that they are extremely knowledgable. No need to go anywhere else. They are the best!
