Can I still get the "last" COVID vaccine, at the Walmart pharmacy, for instance?? [View all]

I am 62 years old, I don't have any officially diagnosed risk factors, although I know I have untreated high blood pressure....

Haven't had a COVID booster since 2022, so I think I'm due for one...

Can I still get the last one, if I act quickly ??

RFK jr's policies say I won't be eligible for the upcoming one,
or at least would be very difficult to get,
since I have not been officially diagnosed by any doctor
for 'risk factors', and am not yet 65 years old...

Suppose I should call Walmart and ask them....

(wouldn't go there normally, but it is the closest location to me, and I have no personal working transportation...)

How's your weight? The CVS list of conditions included having a BMI over 25. tanyev Aug 28 #1

I am not obese or grossly overweight, in my personal opinion, Jack Valentino Aug 28 #2

Thanks! "overweight" but not obese, as I suspected... Jack Valentino Aug 28 #5

I second that about the high blood pressure, Jack. Tanuki Aug 28 #10
