-Once your appointment is scheduled, check back often on the websites or by phone to see if any appointments have been added or were missed.

-Call distribution centers toward the end of the day when they can assess if there are any leftover doses or unfilled appointments

-Be patient and kind to anyone you deal with when scheduling your appointment or receiving your shots.  It goes a long way.
