Rana-Reagan pharmacy in Bloomingdale, IL extended its hours as families waited to get the COVID vaccine for kids under 5.
But before the vaccines even arrived at 10:45 a.m., the suburban clinic's vaccine coordinator said there were already families waiting in the parking lot before the pharmacy opened, ready to wait as long as they needed to.
"They were actually ready to wait to wait until 3 p.m., 4 p.m., they said," said Rana-Reagan Pharmacy Vaccine Coordinator Jigna Gandhi."They had a cute tent, their lunches, snacks, toys and they were just camping out in the car and wait." Gandhi said as soon as the CDC gave their green light for younger children to get the vaccine, her phone rang non-stop, taking more than 700 calls this past weekend and hundreds more Monday morning. The response so overwhelming and appreciated, the pharmacy doubled their staff today.
They are extending their hours. This clinic normally would have closed around 5:30 p.m., but after getting the enormous response, they planned to stay open a couple hours longer. Parents have the option of choosing between either Pfizer or Moderna, The FDA said the differences between the two are less than the risks of not getting vaccinated.
