Latest Breaking News

Until they can outright ban vaccines, Kennedy's loony cosplayers at the crippled CDC seek to at least slow down immunizations by requiring prescriptions or physician consultations, and sowing confusion and disinformation about what the requirements are in each state.

Here in Georgia, I'm seeing the following:

• Costco - Allows me to schedule a vaccine appointment, but displays this disclaimer: -- "For COVID vaccinations:
  A prescription from a medical provider is currently required for the pharmacy to administer a COVID vaccine in the following states: AZ, DC, GA, HI, IN, LA, MO, OR, SC, UT."


• CVS - "The updated 2025 – 2026 COVID vaccine is now available. Appointments may be limited or unavailable in some states. Check back soon for additional availability." Website allows me to choose "COVID-19 (new)" vaccine. When choosing "Next available appointment at all locations," the response is "No locations match your filters. Search again with different filters or try a new location." (I tried various days, various times, both CVS Pharmacy and Minute Clinic -- no dice.)


• Publix - "Georgia – 12 years and older. Prescription required."


• State health dept. - "Get the COVID-19 Vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccine is available to the public.
  Eligible individuals can get the COVID-19 vaccine to protect against severe illness. The vaccine is available at many locations across the state. Stay up to date on the latest information by following advice from the Georgia Department of Public Health, your local county’s health department (link), and your healthcare provider or primary care physician."


• County health dept. - "Vaccine Notice -- The updated COVID vaccines are not available yet. The COVID vaccines just approved by FDA have not shipped, and the estimate for when they will ship is mid-September." (Today is Sept. 21...)

Also, here's what's on the CDC website, as of this writing, at https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines-adults/recommended-vaccines/index.html:
"All adults need these routine vaccines
Everyone should make sure they're up to date on these routine vaccines:

• COVID-19 vaccine


• Flu vaccine (influenza)


• Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough) or Td vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria)"

Oh, goody! The CDC agrees that the COVID-19 vaccine is important!
