I’ll be glad to help. I got mine in April at CVS in Texas.

This is the CVS site that I WAS familiar with.
https://www.cvs.com/immunizations/covid-19-vaccine?icid=cvs-home-hero1-link1-covid-vaccine
It says, “Walk in or schedule your FREE COVID-19 vaccine today.”
“No cost with insurance or through a federal program for the uninsured.”

Feel free to ask any question. I’ll answer what I know.
 

I can see that you’ve already done what a normal resident could do.
You asked for answers, and you got unsolicited opinions.

This webboard is not the only neighborhood social networking site here.

Good to know and I’m happy for you! : )

I have an extender for the Telmex modems I will give away.  I have finally gotten into this century by getting Totalplay internet.  I transferred my old phone number to my Totalplay account and delivered the Telmex modem back to them.  I also use a mesh system to extend WiFi to all corners of our lot. Actually there are empty lots on either side of our lot and I get full signal coverage on both those lots.  The eero mesh system is very stable and easy to set up.

Another happy mesh user. : )
I asked neighbors in my social networking neighborhood.
Everyone was happy about it. No one complained.
It’s no-brainer choice for me.

I tried, and I won’t suggest “extender”.
“Wireless throughput is reduced by at least 50%.”, said Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_repeater#Drawbacks
I bought one and found out the hard way.

Now I’m using one of what AngusMactavish said, the Mesh.
Same brand, different model. And I love it.
It “extends” the range w/o reducing the throughput.
I bought the cheapest low-end one, with 2-pack only.
 

My wife and I got vaccinated at two different CVS in Texas. The only real proof is the little card with handwritten info on it, as many said.

When I got shot at CVS, it asked my email, but didn’t ask my wife’s when she got hers. I got an email vaccination record, but not my wife. And I don’t see my record on CVS website, at this moment.

As I see it, they just want to get people vaccinated as soon as possible. They didn’t have time to think through the whole thing. “Keeping the record” is a low priority. It’s a mess, even in the USA.

Serious as Covid, countries will need real proof of no virus before a traveller can enter. Either a piece of paper or a printed record has no credibility, at this moment.

Thanks for your time and effort putting all the information together, GDouglas. Appreciate it.

Not a recommendation, since I’ve not used it before.
Just information I know, for your consideration.

Do you believe the mainland will attack Taiwan ? 

It’s all right. I understand the curiosity. : )

They publicly declare and display their intention.
They are actively preparing for it with
military exercises frequently around that island.

It’s a big gamble.
Every player needs to calculate what they'd be willing to put in,
and calculate what other players would do.

What do I believe? That’s beyond my calculation. : )
 

What Mainecoons said is fact, not being political.
To be fair, the news was about Mexico, Taiwan was just also in there.
I was surprised that Taiwan is #1. Well, check the source! Do you believe it?! : )
Leave out the invasion, I still would choose Lakeside over it.
I was from Taiwan originally.

Nice try at throwing off responsibility by blaming someone else for your shortcomings. Too bad it didn't work.

I asked a question that I couldn’t find the answer.
And you blamed me for blaming.

Work what?! You have a crooked mind.
Yes, this is blaming.

Only dumb guys make assumption. Only. : )

Just note This is from Walmart corporate in the USA with the page available in Spanish or English. It is different than what is posted on the Mexico Walmart website.

As many have posted. It will be up to each person that helps you.

 

We agree that the employees will be the executors of the policy.
Let’s face what the policy really is.

I’d like to know the facts of it, if it’s verifiable.
If this is not it, do you know the correct one with a link to it?
 

Thanks to jrod. This is the link:
https://corporate.walmart.com/policies/politica-de-devoluciones

Translated by Google:
“Returns Without Receipt
To return or exchange items without a receipt, the customer must present a valid photo ID issued by a government office. Customer identification information is stored in a secure database that Walmart uses to authorize returns.”

Different entity. Similar: accepting no-receipt return policy.

Human issue is another story. : )

Your link is about US Walmart return policies. 

Walmart International is an entirely different entity. 

I understand that. : )

As of my posting, there’s no one pointing to Walmart Mexico's official website about its no-receipt return policy, just reasonable guessing. Many agreed with dichosalocura (including me : ). Until I found out that no-receipt return IS possible. There may be some similarity among different Walmarts. So I pointed it out with proof and stated, “(Not sure the one in Ajijic is the same or not)”. : )

From Walmart Mexico:

We recommend you keep the receipt, original packaging.... so that you can return your items with them, go directly to the store to do it, the items will be duly reviewed by the store staff to evaluate that the return is appropriate

 

I’d be glad to see the link to Walmart Mexico of its return policy on this case, that I couldn’t find it. Thanks.
 

We’ll be surprised by thinking with our common sense.

The answer is, MAYBE. It depends. Here’s the exact details. 
(Not sure the one in Ajijic is the same or not)
https://www.walmart.com/help/article/refunds/b7208ee087f84b6e8c78ced8cdc685ac

For your case, this might apply:
“Store Returns without a Receipt...
The merchandise may be returned and a cash refund provided if the refund value of the returned item is less than $25”

And show them this webpage.
 

I may be a newbie in Lakeside.
But not a newbie on neighborhood social networking.
It’s a VERY normal community social conversation.

These are normal somewhere else too:
* Lost chicken, pig, etc.
* Porch pirates
* Someone taking photos of my house
* Someone parking in front of my mailbox
* Someone knocking at my door
* Heard gunshots?!

Do not rely on hearsay from anyone who lives in a fracc or your real estate agent.  Pick one and ask for the fracc records so you can verify what percentage of the fracc members pay their dues.  Compare the math of a small fracc with 50 homeowners that collects 50% of the dues vs a large fracc with 450 owners that collects 50% of the dues.  When the time comes to drill a well, and it will, an assessment will be the method to pay for the new well.  A lot easier to pay for a well when you have members who pay their dues.  There is strength in numbers.  A fracc that has amenities such as a club house, pool, tennis courts, racquet ball courts, and/or gym, etc will have leverage with non-paying members because they can ban the deadbeats from using the facilities.  A fracc with few amenities does not have that option. 

Also it is common to hear at lakeside that "Mexicans do not pay their dues."  It all depends on which fracc you are referencing.  Some yes and some no.

Good luck.

Interesting information. Thanks, Kiko.
I think I checked all the realtors’ websites in Lakeside.
No one mentioned it.
I wonder if anyone else could share more on this.
 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring_system
“A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver of the vehicle…”

It’s a safety feature. It gives INSTANT alerts that “frequent checking” can not accomplish, when something happens during driving.

On the other hand, its purpose is NOT replacing “frequent checking” of tires.
 

The vaccination availability is getting more and better.
Now CVS even let us choose which kind.

As of this morning, at LAREDO, TX 78046.
Monday: May 03, 2021
Vaccine: Janssen/J&J (one-dose)

Tip: Make selection AFTER midnight.
I think around that time, they update their daily new availability.
 

The short answer is no, you don’t have to be an US citizen.

“Medical experts, the Center for Disease Control and the state of Texas say that all adults, regardless of citizenship status, can get the COVID-19 vaccine.”

Bonus: It’s FREE.

“No cost with insurance or through a federal program for the uninsured.”
 

They even put street lights on the path.
Have a night cruise/walk!
