Last week I called around to see if I could get a booster before schools open. I was told by several places that they had sent their Covid shots back and I should just wait until mid-September to see whether they get new ones.
Also, nice job further diminishing the role of pharmacists. I suppose RFK Jr. is too ignorant to know that pharmacists actually know medicine? They're not just pill counters (which, strictly speaking, is what a pharmacy tech does, not a pharmacist). In fact, your pharmacist is more knowledgeable about your medicines and your condition than your doctor.
Is this common for any other vaccines? I got a few in the past few years recommended by the doctor, but at no point did I have to show proof of anything to the pharmacy.
I poked around the pharmacy web site and there were a few that, upon selection, asked me to self-attest that I had a health condition that needed the vaccine. But nothing beyond clicking a checkbox.
I work in a very large corporate office, and Covid is showing signs of coming back in force - two close colleagues are down this week and several reports across the building. And I can’t get a booster because these ignorant imbeciles decided for me, based on non-scientific vibes?

Our healthcare freedoms are being diminished by the government. Didn't have that on my BINGO card.

I don't believe it is common for most vaccines. The pharmacists are typically qualified to help you make this decision for yourself.

It is maddening, but you can just ask your doctor to prescribe it. There are plenty of ways for them to justify it.

Remember how republicans were so angry at the government politely requesting people to get vaccinated in the heat of 2020 and 2021?
Well, now that the tables have turned, polite requests turn into big government mandates.
