@nursefrombirth I thought it was just for kiddies and old folks. I'll get mine. Last time the CVS "nurse" gave us FOX nonsense and refused to administer, we rescheduled for the next day after calling to find out she wouldn't be at that store. We got there and the different nurse said yes "if it's what YOU want", LOL CVS contacted US to schedule, Total Disconnect, IMO

Early on my husband tried to get the first booster at CVS. Pharmacist told him no, even though he clearly fell within guidelines as he's immunosuppressed & has a serious autoimmune disease. She wanted him to get a note from his doctor, despite guidelines specifically saying he didn't need any such thing. His meds are filled by CVS, ffs.They had his chart. She KNEW he qualified. She was just a rude shit human. We went elsewhere.
Hope all goes well this time around. π€πΎ π€πΎ π€πΎ
@nursefrombirth @MississippiQueen
We're all boosted up fully except for the new one!
@Agatha @nursefrombirth
Same here and now we both have Covid
@MississippiQueen @nursefrombirth
Hopefully the vax will keep it mild and you recover fully. We still mask & don't eat inside restaurants. Haven't even had so much as a cold since Feb 2020. π€
Sending healing thoughts and a big virtual hug your way, π Wishing you both a speedy recovery. Please take care.π€
@nursefrombirth I hope they can be manufactured and distributed quickly enough. And by next year wouldn't it be nice if flu, COVID, and RSV could all be combined into a single shot? Maybe the combo would make people feel too wretched for a day.
