Walgreens acknowledged there was a problem but declined to comment on the number of people affected.
“Due to limited functionality in our scheduler at the time, a limited number of individuals were only able to schedule their first dose appointment,” Campbell O’Connor, a Walgreens spokesman said in an emailed statement. “We are committed to providing second doses to these individuals, and our team members are reaching out to all patients affected to attempt to accommodate them. At this time, we have added functionality which allows all individuals to book their first and second dose at the same time. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

Most Americans comply because the goal is to save lives, particularly of the vulnerable elderly.
Meanwhile, 2020 also was the year of “anti-racism” or, more accurately, a brand of obsessive race-think that contrasts sharply with Dr. King’s dream.
