Finding booster shots

When CDC changed the booster recs, we became eligible (previously weren't in Washington state).
I decided to wait until this week... I was quite miserable (103F, body aches, chills, nausea, headache, fatigue... basically I had All. The. Benign. Side. Effects., except the pain at injection site), and I didn't want that to interfere with Thanksgiving.
Well.
I don't know how it was before CDC changed the recs, but it seems impossible to get an appointment before end of December.
What's more... everything is decentralized. So. Bartell's might have appointments, but there is no central location. You have to check every single location. Most demand a full information dump (I refused to give info to Kaiser... they don't need my SSN to fucking check the schedule and tell me if/when there are appointments!). I spent a few hours at it this morning, and finally gave up, unscheduled. Blah.
