Lackland AFB, I'm guessing. I remember getting some kind of shot (smallpox??) with one of those injection guns when I was a kid. Lots of people had that scar on their upper arm from those guns.

No needle, high pressure injectors. The early ones could spread disease from one to the next patient, see fluid suck back.

As to home address, as it happens the day before I was speaking on the phone to someone who lives in an adjacent county and pointing him to the booking website. He said there were no available appointments in his county until August, but it looked like he could travel to this county to be vaccinated, so there seems to be some flexibility in crossing county lines.
In any case it looks like there will soon be a surplus of vaccines in the US, with a significant number of people saying they are not planning to receive a vaccine.

While you may be worried about getting a vacine passport there is a less documented part of the population that won’t go to be vaccinated if ID and address etc is required, so the less friction / requirements the better so we can reach herd immunity, especially when they work in jobs that can’t be done from home like meat packing and other agriculture like fruit picking where they may work in close proximity to others for long periods.

So U.S. pharmacies are able & willing to administer end-of-day Pfizer doses to anybody who volunteers to be on hand to receive them, foreign visitors to the U.S. included. And they'll then automatically book you in for the 2nd shot, no problem.
