I need to monitor the situation at Nantucket to see how quickly they start taking down any of the half dozen banners welcoming a “Fellow New Englander” to Chapel Hill

it was that way for a while, but a day or so ago, the south Chapel Hill CVS started showing up as having available appointments with having to have a prescription. when I went in, they did ask if I had comorbidity to report for insurance, but it seems like they would have given the shot regardless
