Get it while you can... These assholes are going to take it away from us soon
Canada is gorgeous. Might be worth a visit.
Get anything you can now ~ but good luck with that. I haven't had any success
The latest Covid vaccine update “mNEXSPIKE” was approved May 30 2025. I seriously doubt the CDC will approve any more. If you are 12-64 you need to claim a comorbidity…I am suggesting people not claim you qualify under Mental Health, Disability, etc as it could be tracked for future “projects”
this is fascinating! I always just use Autism cuz it's true.
Safer to use the "I was once a smoker" reason. Fascists will target autistic people as well.
I'm not interested in being safe, but I would encourage people that feel unsafe to do what they need to do. I don't need to argue because I'm 65 and for whatever magic reason that's the number where you don't need an excuse.
I’ve been checking Walgreens site daily. Today they posted the 25-26 is coming soon.
I walked in to a Walgreens this morning and they gave me one. Website says the same for me as for you.
You gotta walk into Walgreens and ask for it. Then when they say it’s outdated, you have to ask for it anyway.
Yeah, just tell them you're traveling in two weeks and would rather not wait.
I'm having trouble finding one.
Same. Safeway pharmacy in my area said they are getting the updated one next week, and it's available to everyone. I was panicking until I called.
CVS isn’t even offering the old version.
My CVS has the Pfizer booster from last year. Probably will get it with my flu shot if no new booster becomes available.
This is the problem Our providers here aren’t offering the old one anymore and they don’t have any of the new ones yet
Get one now, and if an updated shot becomes available, get the updated shot in about six months
My question exactly. Doc said current booster doesn’t address today’s variants. But what if they block an update. Trump/RFK Jr are trying to kill us all.
I think it might be too late for now. I heard this was coming and got the last appointment for the older version (the only one currently avails able) last Wednesday at Walgreens. My friends waited and weren’t able to make appointments the following day.
CVS stopped making the old vaccine available regardless if you’d qualify for it under new rules. Check to see if it’s even available in your area.
Now
Now. Got my latest booster a couple of weeks ago. Now, no matter the hoops and hurdles RFK Jr throws in the game, I’m covered for back to school, a large family gathering and the upcoming holiday season. Period. Get yours now.
I had a booster back in June, so (as per my understanding), I can't have another one for another couple months. Which means that was likely my last COVID booster.
Best believe that the rich will have their vaccines of every flavor updated.
Of course, they can fly anywhere anything is legal: abortion, vaccines, existing while brown.
Both
I got the booster but I also got a Costco membership. Good at any Costco worldwide
Id get it now as will last for about 4 months
Get it. Last week I walked into Walgreens, got last year’s Covid vax, flu and RSV. I had to state that I understood it was outdated and due to be replaced. Cost 50.00 out of pocket. I feel like a have better coverage than waiting and hoping I can get an updated vaccine.
I may go to Canada to get mine.
Isn't it based on dominant strain? I think we have to get the more updated one to be effective.
But if Brainworm bans it, then what?
Canada?
Only 2 1/2 hours from me and my French is passable. “Je voudrais un vaccin contre la COVID. S’il vous plait et merci.”
Yeah, I'm another person wondering what to do. If the gov't merely limits it to certain populations, I'm confident we could get it, but an outright ban? Well, I've always wanted to go back to Toronto...
does Toronto want you back? Toronto kept asking me to come back until it stopped. hello
This is what we've been trying to figure out, too.
I decided on "get it now" and try to get the new one later (if it exists then)
I’ve been wondering this too. And wondering if my insurance will cover it.
This is the question of the day! I scheduled a shot 10/1. I am hoping to get the new shot before it is banned.
Now!
Go to Canada to take the Covid vaccines now, nothing can be trusted here in the U.S. regarding quality in health, food, economy, finance, trade, anymore.
Checked with our doctors about it and they said to wait but man, it’s a tough choice.
Do not wait. The old formula bring broad protection from current variants. Boosters protection wanes @6 months. Get what you can while you can
Yeah, we talked to her a few months ago and I think she meant wait until end of August early September but yes point well taken thank you.
I stopped in at the pharmacy where I've been getting vaccinated. I've gotten #Covid shots there almost since the day they became available for my age group. Today for the first time, they didn't have any. They said #flu should be available next week and Covid might be available and to check back.
There will not be an updated shot as Trump has decimated the CDC. The last iteration is already in very low supply so you may not qualify for it, anyway (must 65+, sickly). If you can get it now, do so. Also, no updated flu shots will be happening, you will be getting a year-old iteration
I’m waiting for the new shot, my pharmacist said the end of September 🤞🏻
That’s my question, too. Same question regarding the flu vaccine, pneumonia vaccine and any other vaccine I might need.
Get them all. Walk into Walgreens or Costco.
Wondering that myself!
thirding!
