Viral Resurgences, Vaccines to get, Precautions to have.

@laura-f  Walgreens corporate has been alerted to this behavior. Technically they are violating CDC regulations if they are denying COVID-19 vaccines to the uninsured.

There was a Twitter thread about it:

and yes, vaccines.gov does state that the COVID-19 vaccines are free and and insurance card is not required. (I double checked before posting).

@april 

Wow - thank you for doing that.

I thought the government had literally run out of funds for both testing and vaccinations, and hadn't re-upped.

Wish I had known yesterday - I would have spoken up in the store.

I would not be too hard on yourself for that Ibuprofen dose. I feel with just that one dose of Ibuprofen your body would process that quickly, within a few hours so the development of antibodies would not be dramatically hindered.

I believe it takes a couple of weeks before the new antibodies would be in full force.

I also scheduled the latest vaccine for a Friday, from previous experience the Covid vaccines I've had really packed a punch.

However not this time, just a sore arm.

Nice to have a pleasant surprise!

I reported my observations to the EthicsPoint online hotline (via the Walgreens site). If enough people do that, it will stop the behavior.

Meanwhile, feeling like crap. I've had both Pfizer and Moderna and these Moderna shots are really strong.

How’s everyone feeling today?

Arm is 90% better and my fatigue is gone. 

@April I feel great. It's been, what, four days since my shot and no symptoms any more.

I got my bivalent yesterday…feel terrible. Had 100 degree fever last night and feel fatigued today (and still have a headache). I don’t have to be at work until Wednesday. Hope I feel better by then.

Got my shot yesterday, sore arm and sleepy but not bad enough that I can't do work at home. 

All four of us (me, husband, two teen girls) got both our flu shots and COVID bivalent boosters this past weekend. My husband and one daughter had a day of chills, fatigue, headache, but felt better after a day/day 1/2. My other daughter and I were a bit tired, but nothing too bad. All of us had sore arms for a day (lingering sore spot at shot site...I think from the flu shot.)

@danielle Hoping you are feeling better soon and that the effects dissipate quickly!

@jsr78 Sounds similar to our reactions - some sleepiness and sore arm. Hope you are feeling back to normal soon!
