What I will say is that we won the guidance from CDC that allows people to self-certify their status as someone who needs two (or more!) boosters per year. Self-certify, doesn’t require any additional proof, doesn’t require an Rx.
That was a long, hard fight.
I am very, very grateful for your efforts. (Although I had to argue hard to get the pharmacist to give me my last booster, he kept repeating that I was under 65 and I kept repeating "you have to be 65 *or immunocompromised*" in an increasingly loud voice until he gave in and let me have it.)
i’ve been poking around on the cdc website looking for a page to show a skeptical pharmacist — “self-certify” isn’t getting me what i need, is there some other keyword i should look for?
Thank you for this!
I'm immunocompromised & I got my fall 2023 Covid vaccine 10/11/23 & my spring booster 4/11/24 easily at my GP's office & plan to just keep on a twice yearly Covid vaccine booster schedule as long as they're available.
The more people who know, the better!
