CVS Search Bookmark

cvs-search-bookmark.md

Hello! This is a Javascript script that can be used to search CVS.com for an availability for the first dose appointment. To use the script as a Browser bookmark, follow these steps:

1. Create a new bookmark in the bookmarks bar of your browser
2. The bookmark title can be whatever, like “Search CVS”
3. The URL has to be this (copy and paste the content below starting at "javascript:" ):

javascript: (function () { var timeout; function playLoudBeep() { var audio = new Audio( "https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20190531135120/beep.mp3" ); audio.play(); } function clickSearchButton() { const button = document.getElementsByClassName("search-icon")[0]; if (appointmentFound()) { playLoudBeep(); stopClickingButton(); return; } if (button) { button.click(); } timeout = setTimeout(clickSearchButton, 3000); } function startSearching() { clickSearchButton(); } function stopClickingButton() { clearTimeout(timeout); } function appointmentFound() { var content = document.body.textContent || document.body.innerText; var foundApptText = "available vaccines found"; var foundApptTextIsShowing = content.indexOf(foundApptText) !== -1; return foundApptTextIsShowing; } startSearching(); })();

4. Save the bookmark
5. Go to CVS Vaccine Scheduler and start the scheduling process
6. You must fill out the screeing form: select no, no, no and continue (selecting yes for any option will make you ineligible at this time)
7. Continue filling out the form
8. You will eventually arrive at a page titled "Schedule dose" with a zipcode search input
9. Enter your zipcode (or a nearby accessible zipcode) and click search
10. If there are no available appointments, click once on your new bookmark
11. The page will automatically start searching (you will see a updated content every time it searches)
12. When an availability is found, the browser will stop searching and a loud "BEEP" sound will play. (sorry that the sound is so loud)
