Why You Might Need Two COVID-19 Shots This Season
📌 Seniors* and people who are immunocompromised should get not just one but two COVID-19 shots this respiratory virus season. That's the new recommendation from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
People in these groups should get the vaccines six months apart in order to stay protected against the disease, the agency's vaccine group recently agreed.
*65 years and older

@LordsofHardwired Too bad they’re not free anymore since the House blocked the funding.
Self pay for one Vax is $199.99 I can’t see doing two.
@VelvetDuchess @LordsofHardwired
Your county may have a health department that provides needed shots to uninsured people.
@EileenKCarpenter @LordsofHardwired If they don’t have the funding they can’t purchase the Vaccines.
@VelvetDuchess @LordsofHardwired
Depends what their priority is. Philadelphia provides them. It's worth checking, anyway.
