With regard to booking appointments online for a COVID-19 vaccination: You will be asked to review paperwork that gives details about the vaccine.
In my experience, the documents provided online by Walgreens make reference to the "2024-2025" vaccine, not the one you need, which is the "2025-2026" vaccine.
I have made appointments twice for my family. The one I scheduled for today was cancelled because that Walgreens location had not yet received the shipment of COVID-19 vaccine it had expected. (Grrrr.)
I fully cancelled that appointment (we typically get the annual flu and COVID-19 vaccinations in the same sitting) and set up a new one at a different Walgreens location.
Both times, I called the pharmacies at those Walgreens locations to confirm that they would in fact have the 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine, despite what the paperwork said, and both said "yes".
Point being: When you read the background paperwork on the COVID-19 vaccine--and you will have to at least scan it, because you will be forced to open it and check a box that affirms that you read it--pay attention to the date span given for that vax.
If it says "2024-2025", it's best to call that specific pharmacy, get through to an actual, live person, and confirm that they have the 2025-2026 formulation in stock. When you do this, remember to take down the name of the pharmacist, just in case.
