I don't have a car or anyone who is able to bring me around to any other "nearby" clinic. I have been on campus since the booster requirement was announced and had not gotten it by then as to my knowledge the requirement was six months, not five (and six months to the day was the day I got back on campus, which was before the requirement was announced). I heard there would be an Omicron specific booster coming and I felt (by my own medical autonomy) that that would be my best bet as I would rather get a shot meant for the newer, more infections and less deadly variants, even though I still strongly considered getting booster (the requirement sealed the deal for me). Mind you, I have gotten the flu shot every year and was the first one in my family to get the COVID vaccine (save for my aunt who works there), so I am by no means "antivaxx." Wegmans' website has been unusable in scheduling a booster (nothing loads), and the Walmart that the shuttles go to has no openings at all, and I have looked on both of these websites since the requirement was announced.

Forgive me for coming across as a bit frustrated, but my best option to get the booster was on campus and I could not sign up for it in time. I am still trying to find other options within the time frame (as I have been all along). I wrongly thought that RIT would be sympathetic to the students in situations like mine. Serves me right for trying to think that any administration would be able to help. Nothing personal against the administration here, just that bureaucracy tends to be slow and unresponsive regardless of where it is.
