Crossing fingers, Calli!
Hey, all, CVS has the new COVID vaccines and is accepting on-line appointments. Jim and I are booked for the 7th.
So I said I didn’t have risk of severe illness due to Covid and was told I’m not eligible for the new vaccine. WTF? Do I lie and say I am? I’m a teacher, and Covid is everywhere right now.
ETA: I just changed that second answer to yes, and now I have an appointment Sept. 6. There’s no shortage, so I assume this is just RFK Jr. nonsense.
I can't get it at CVS because MA has a law (and so do 15 other states) that pharmacists can't give vaccines that aren't recommended by the CDC. So I made an appointment to get it from a nurse at my doctors' office.
It is 100% RFK2 nonsense and has led to a spate of resignations at the CDC. The at risk category is expensive, and they don't, as it were, check.
All kinds of medical-ma to everyone. This is a very time.

I don't know what the actual qualifications for "risk of severe illness" are, but I'd say that anyone who spends most of their day in an institutional setting like a school absolutely falls in that category. Since they don't check, fuck RFK Jr. and his brain worm. Shots for everyone!*
*(It's a sign of the times that "shots for everyone" means vaccinations and not tequila. Sheesh.)
Late to the computer screen this morning, but in time to send happiest birthday wishes to Meara! I hope this is a year filled with joyous surprises.
