to realize what's happening. The recent booster vax took a lot more effort for me, I didn't get it until early Nov.

The RX depts at 2 CVS stores I use were understaffed and have gone to scheduling appoints. online for yourself instead of calling, and no walk ins. But at least they're still providing the service.

The nos. of people who haven't got the most recent vax are scary. And the govt. isn't covering as much of the cost for those uninsured and underinsured like in the past.

There is a CDC program to help with that, I posted about it here but I wonder how many people heard about it.
