Got the flu and covid shot this morning. There’s a lot of confusion here in NCabout the covid shot. Until this week you could not even get one no matter how old you were. Doctors, pharmacies, clinics did not know what to do. NC requires a script even if you are age eligible. So I guess if you were an adult under 65 with no risk factors (diabetes, obesity,etc.) you will have to pay out of pocket. That’s not right.

This will probably be the last of the covid vaccine because of all the budget cuts. Do you think they will update the flu each season to protect against the new strains?

Can’t believe a person in the US that wants a vaccine can’t get it.
