How-To Schedule a Walgreens Vaccine Appointment

For those of you who have been hearing about the challenges of scheduling a Covid-19 vaccine appointment, I can say that these challenges are real. It is a confusing system and my first attempts felt very uncomfortable, even as someone who works with software. This guide hopes to help prepare anyone who has yet to schedule an appointment or anyone who wants insight into the Walgreens process.

About This Guide

The following are instructions based on aggregate experiences in downtown Chicago, IL and all scheduling was done a computer web browser (these instructions should be transferable to mobile or tablet but there may be discrepencies).

The instructions are specific to the Illinois vaccination process and the questionairre/scheduling prcoess differs slightly from state to state.

Speaker Rider

by Tatiana Mac

Last updated 14 April 2021

What is a speaker rider?

As speaking comes with immense privilege, I have crafted a speaker rider to set expectations and boundaries around my engagement. I am grateful to all the conference organisers who have brilliantly hosted me. I would love to continue to exercise this privilege to speak at conferences, and use this privilege to make the landscape more accessible and beneficial to tech's most historically excluded and marginalised communities.

Considerations

😫 I provide a lot of explanations for those of you who never had to consider these things. Most thoughtful conferences I've attended check most of these boxes intrinsically, particularly when conference runners are experienced speakers. They get it.

===============================================
These are takeaways from the VimChi talk on Unite.vim.
This gist serves as easy copy paste resource when experimenting
with Unite, so that I can save you from taking notes in 
the talk.
For more specific configuration with mapping and such,
you can checkout my .vimrc: github.com/gsavovski/VimplifY
