Saw the doctor yesterday for wellness visit. [View all]

I asked about the Covid vaccine and he was confused about what to do. I guess NC just decided last week to require a script for the vaccine if you are over 65 or have certain conditions that make you compromised. So he write a note recommending the vaccine for my husband and myself because of your age. We take it to CVS and they would not accept it…..they need an actual script. Called the office and was told they would do it. That was yesterday morning and still no script. Called the doctor’s office again today and was told it would take up to 3 days!. She told me they were inundated with requests because NC was undecided as to what to do up until a few days ago. A friend was told by his doctor last Friday that NC would not be giving the vaccine so he traveled to SC CVS, got the vaccine, no problem, no script. This is totally ridiculous and unnecessary. It is a direct result of trump and rfk,jr. and this administration. Now I really see the danger of this guy and his anti-vaxxers cohorts. People simply will not go through the hassle and I can hardly blame them. I cannot believe that in this day and age a person cannot get a vaccine when they want/need one. This is not an urgent situation for my husband or myself, but I can see where this will lead to future sickness and death. Public health is a serious matter and we have idiots in charge of the country’s health. Sorry for the rant.
