I asked for the latest COVID vaccine this week at my VA clinic and they didn't have any. They said they are "out" but maybe more is on the way. The don't have an ETA.

Someone I’m close with that works in higher education states the VA is at a crawl when higher education institutions try to verify benefits, leading to veterans dropping out of school, deferring their programs, and defaulting on required education payments.
I wrote to all my reps today. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
Thanks to worm brain🤬
In Hawaii, you can't even get a COVID-19 booster unless you're over 65. I tried to get an appointment for one and was denied. I'm 58.
They’re not approved yet
My primary care doctor's office told me they "don't do COVID vaccines" .... So I'd have to try my luck at CVS. 😩
I read today that it wasn't coming out until late next month in Canada, is it out here already?
Billionaires got the vaccine though. I am pretty sure if that.
I do not believe that there are going to be any in the US. Canada has a great one for 2025-26 but there aren’t any plans for one to be made here.
WRONG!!!
It hasn't been approved yet and until it is, you won't see it. Thank RFK Jr.
Spoiler Alert: There isn't more on the way. Thanks FailKennedy.
How many 100,000's died from tRUMPs failure to lead through covid? Bleach anyone? Simple, safe masks? How many people caught and spread diseases at super spreader rallies?
Over 400,000.
Over 1,000,000
400K on the day he left office. There were a great many carryover cases and cases but they are put in Biden's column. However DJTs lack of appropriate response is well documented. share.google/95anW3YKBgtj...
This is such 🐂💩. These people are so loathsome they can’t just not take the vaccine they want to force everyone else to do the same. It’s the way they want to force all their fascist 🐂💩into law.
Same...they said maybe October.. now it looks like it may be stopped completely.
Same here in SE VA. They say that the new vaccine for 2025-2026 should be available in a few days. We shall see.
They are not “out”. Nothing has been approved by the committee, CDC, or hhs. Just one more fascist power play.
I’m sure trump will make sure he gets the vaccine.
The update isn’t ready yet, I pretty sure
We're going to have to go to Tijuana or Vancouver.
JFC
Freaking Kroger let me make an online appointment for it the other day. Only pharmacy in my area that said it had the COVID vaccine. When I showed up, they just said, "Oh, we don't have that. Won't for awhile."
Same thing with Walgreens. Did get a flu shot though.
Yeah, I did get my flu shot and Tdap booster. Thinking about getting my measles immunity checked.
I had measles and rubella as a kid, and was exposed to mumps. Just went ahead and got a MMR vaccine this year to be safe.
I already had an Measles( actually had Rubella and mumps as a child) booster a few years ago. Tdap was last year. Shingles this year
Just approved today.
I got that today.
😢
CVS says they are hoping to have within a few weeks—🤞 I work with small kids I don’t want to get super sick!
I asked for a covid vax at the Costco pharmacy where I have received it previously. They were totally fishy about it. After a mound meeting w the Pharmacist, the tech told me they are waiting for the new versions and to try again in September. It was weird.
Are you eligible for VA urgent care? www.va.gov/COMMUNITYCAR...
I asked at my Costco pharmacy in OKC and it's the same . They did say they were expecting more but didn't give a date . Just unfucking believable
Mine said the same thing last week
my wife had to go to 4 different places before she could get one. One pharmacist refused her for "reasons"
Report them to the state.
I think she did but it was not simple
I know, but his come-to-Jesus has to start somewhere.
I had to do some deep breathing not to bring that to a head myself =]
My goddamn state would give them a medal. 😔
I'm concerned mine may do the same ಠ_ಠ
She did not get the latest configuration. It has not been approved yet. The one she got will NOT be specific to the latest variant.
I'm also not convinced we will get a current vaccine with this administration
Good for you.
Blue sky is being glitchy methinks
Correct and she knew that she just wanted a booster
That’s fine. I’m glad she got it. Just pray she doesn’t encounter the latest variant.
Thanks man
I tried to schedule one at CVS, Walmart, & Walgreens because I saw an article that the Grim Reaper at HHS may pull all COVID vaccines (since, sort of semi-debunked) but they all say they are waiting for the new versions so nothing can be scheduled yet. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
🤬
I am sad to read this 😢
Hmmm... 😔 I am sure my medications will be next... 😓
Our local CVS only has doses from last fall, which will expire and be destroyed in September. Pharmacist told me they expect to receive newly approved doses in about a week.
😭 Trump and RFK Jr. Plan to Scrap Covid Vaccine, Because Why Not | The New Republic share.google/H73u43UedIVF...
I got mine at Costco pharmacy which is available for all - not just members💉
Rachel do you know which vaccine it was? What version?
The pharmacy told me it was the newest one. With the recent press I did go back 2 weeks later (last week) and ask again to be sure. I am in the Seattle area if that helps.
Same. They said Fall
Same with my local CVS.
The grocery stores and Walgreens I contacted last week said they had already sent back the 2024 stock in preparation for the 2025 ones - which seems like they aren't coming
I don’t think any pharmacy ever got it yet for 2025-26. My husband got turned away for last years. Even though WA state says anyone over 6 mo can get it still.
I just looked up the underlying health conditions that would allow it under 65 former smoker is one, not something they could check or trip you up with like if you claimed to be diabetic or something. Might be worth a try
I was considering “some sort of” preexisting condition if needed for WA
Good luck!
Though now they are locking it all down. May be a trip to Ontario, Canada for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
The correct question to "we're out" is "were they ever in"?
Perhaps the head of d h h s should not be a eugenicist.
I asked at my doc appointment yesterday for both Covid booster and flu and was told, "The doctor hasn't decided yet about the Covid and we're 2 weeks away from flu shots." I'm not convinced I have the best doc
The doctor hasn’t “decided” about what? What is there to decide?
Exactly
Like - what is there to decide?
Well, that's BS!! We were just thinking today we need to go to the pharmacy soon and get our flu and Covid shots. However, we had Covid shot in April... Maybe too soon now? Dunno. But last September we both got Covid before we could get the shot. I'd ask pharmacist.
You do not have the best doc. Hope another's available.
I waited 6mos to get in to see this one. I'll be on the hunt for a another.
Find a new doc ASAP. My son was born around the time of Covid in 2020. We brought him to his first pediatrician appt and the doc said he didn’t believe in Covid. I never left a place so fast in my life. Never took my son back. He was safer at home with me anyways.
I just got last year’s version at Safeway. My sister (a doctor who is closely following what’s happening) advised us to go ahead and get a booster now even though it’s not the new one because it’s very possible only over 65 and pregnant women will be able to get the latest — if it comes out at all.
I am immuno compromised due to a couple of medical conditions. Attempted to get another booster at CVS a couple of weeks ago. Made online appointment, went in, but pharmacist refused because "they are not allowed to give more than 2" of the 'current one'. Had no ETA on getting the new one.
Michael Osterholm said on his podcast that he just got the old one because it had been long enough since his last booster that it wasn’t worth waiting for the new one.
I was just told by a pharmacist that the old vaccine got pulled by JFK and is no longer available because "it was killing people."
Maybe it depends on where you are. I got mine at Safeway but Walgreens in our town isn’t offering it.
I wonder if that’s only the veterans we stiff. I was planning on hitting my usual grocery store pharmacy for my covid and flu shots.
That is not good with Covid season around the corner.
I had the same experience yesterday, but the explanation was that the new COVID and flu vaccines would be available soon and I should wait for them.
Same I called my pharmacist and she said end of next month Previously I was told end of August
I called Walgreens yesterday and they had it.
That’s not the new one. That’s the last one – which everyone should still get if they haven’t yet, of course! CVS still has that one, too – same for the last flu shot!
yes, I figured that out after I said that. looks like mid September for the new one. was going to get mine this week but I guess I'll wait.
If you haven’t gotten the currently available Covid & Flu #vaccines, definitely go get them immediately! Who knows when the next ones will ACTUALLY be available?!
www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
I saw that earlier. that's messed up.
They shouldn’t be allowed to have paywalls on essential public health & safety info like that!
yeah, that's messed up too. I saw it on the news earlier. we're still losing 1000 people a month to covid. that's 10x the total number of people who died from the vaccine, every month. vaccines should be free for everyone.
My bad I should have gifted it. Meant to check if I had any gifts left but got distracted. Sorry! Looked for a non Paywall, of course why would the CDC put these out? FDA approves updated COVID-19 vaccines, but only for certain groups share.google/yvRT7io4HVKc...
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
Mine didnt..
I just looked at their website. They say updated vaccines are expected soon.
I have covid right now. First time ever. Friend who works in a hospital said there's a lot now.
Swift healing, Abby.
Me too!
My friend just got over covid last week.
This is what I was afraid of.
Same in standard pharmacies here in AZ. I am pissed to no end. Time to call your reps, folks!
Thanks, because I am going to get my booster next month.
Every pharmacy and every walk in clinic I’m getting this notification. No ETA from anyone.
I’ve been sick today. Sinus infection. At home Covid test which was negative. Me while waiting for the results. 👇🏼
THE FALL. IT IS NOT NOW 'FALL'.
It will be out this fall along with updated flu shot.
Covid is already here. ~half of the staff and clients at my facility have it.
That’s always been the case. New Fall vaccines don’t address the summer wave of Covid. The 2024 vaccines were available and still are in many places. The real problem is the new fall vaccines are recommended for 65 and over.
The updated Covid vax should be out already listening to RFKj they wont be availble.
No it is too early for new vaccines to be out. But I agree they may never come out.
They usually start bring administered at the end of August, especially for vulnerable populations who have recently been given the option of 3 or more doses. | CDC Newsroom share.google/Shq1mNkyHt15...
The updated Covid shots are approved for adults 65 and older as well as for kids and adults with at least one medical condition that puts them at risk of severe illness.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the next round of Covid shots for the fall — but only for a smaller, high-risk group of people, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Wednesday
Waiting to see if AMA and IDSA come out with a different recommendation following what the AAP did for kids the other day
www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
The latest Vaccine... the New and improved COVID has been approved in Europe.. Not in the US that i have heard biontechse.gcs-web.com/news-release...
I checked with Buffalo. They have some, but it's only for those 65 or older or with underlying conditions.
Try “former smoker” it’s on the list of underlying conditions…
Good call. Im just glad Buffalo isn't like California. Weird how different VA hospitals have different rules.
I will ask Buffalo about that tomorrow.
My local news just reported the updated ones will be available in a few weeks but they are only recommended for over 60 & not sure if insurance will cover the costs.
I dont know if I dare gave any vaccine that RFK jr approved.
Did you ask about the flu vaccine Mueller?
Not a covid vaccine to be had in the entire province of Ontario. Our Trumper Premier gets some attention for his blowhard bullshit, but at heart, he is cut from the same corrupt and incompetent cloth as MAGA. #FordFailedOntario #onpoli
There are none to be had in Alberta either. And when they do get stock, we will have the privilege of paying $100 per dose.
Same at pharmacy at FreddyMeyer. They said maybe next month, maybe.
Might I suggest everyone send their plane fare and hotel receipts from your trips to Canada to DR. Bill Cassidy for reimbursement.
Same thing happened to me here in Seattle trying to book Covid vaccines before school started. No one has any
Here in Canada, the newest mRNA covid vaccine has been approved and will be available later in September.
I mean- you might see of you could get a shot this side of the 49th parallel if you can't find one in the 'states.
Key word there is “maybe”….
#RemoveRFKJr
Our local pharmacy said they’ll begin vaccinating from Sept 1 . Now we’re antsy ‘cos we want to get it before the unhinged old dude who bathes in filthy creeks bans it .
They don’t have anything to vaccinate with at this time unless you’re using last years version
Well , I suppose I could drive there & take a pic of the new signs they have on the grass roadside verge , saying COVID & Flu vaccines here Sept . But 🤷♂️. I went in & the pharmacist took my No. & said she’d call when they’re in . What can I tell ya .
Pretty hard to advertise a product that isn’t in existence yet 🤷🏼♀️. Out here waiting, too, and I’m a pharmacist myself.
They’ve removed those signs 😒 I guess I got my hopes up in vain . I read that it’s only gonna be available for 65+ & those who can prove vulnerability… ? I owe you an apology 😳😕
Apparently they just pulled last years version. It's no longer available because "it's killing people." Strange because I got last years version last fall and I have been just fine - alive and well.
They probably pulled last years version because of expiration.
My 7 year old grandson had his annual checkup last week, and his parents wanted him to get a Covid vax. They didn’t have any, and said they might not get any.
They don't have it at my VA here in Mid-Missouri either & no ETA. However, the Boone County Health Department does have it and Vets can get it without cost if they can't afford it. You have to call to make an appointment first.
That’s what my CVS said yesterday.
No place on the central coast of California currently has them.
Supposedly the end of September in Michigan.
Confirmed, Walgreens told me the same thing.
I just asked my pharmacy yesterday. They are waiting on the updated covid vaccine. It better f'ing show up.
🤦♂️
They had the 2025-26 formula???
Pharmacist here, the Moderna 2025 to 2026 vaccine, SpikeVax has not yet been approved. It can't be shipped til then.
This worries me.
Thank you RFK, Jr…
@ylepidemiologist.bsky.social has info.
I read a while back somewhere about #’s of weekly deaths from COVID. It was, shockingly, in the thousands. Does anyone know the facts?? We hear nothing about it.
I did a booster 3 weeks ago at a UNM clinic. Waiting for the latest too.
😔
Walgreens web site said they don’t have any Covid vaccine available and are waiting on CDC guidelines to order them! Walmart said the exact same thing!
Remember “operation warp speed?” Ya, guess he wasn’t sincere…or hadn’t met FFK Jr yet.
So, are the pharmaceutical companies ok with Rump & Fk anti-medicine/anti-vax policies?
Apparently so 🤬
Same here in Ohio. No one has it
I’m waiting to see when they start pushing ivermectin and chloroquine. No doubt some in congress have invested in the makers of those drugs. There are so many obits I want to see.
Roll out is usually mid end of September.. they want to make certain it’s effective.
Yeah, interesting, isn't it. Thanks a lot, RFK Jr, idiot.
Same here and same response.
I got mine last Wednesday. There's a great newsletter called my epidemiologist that keeps everybody updated with all the health stuff. Thanks to her. I got mine.
Oh no!
My Dr office doesn’t have any. The pharmacist is expecting some but has no eta.
My dr said September
My doctor told me the same thing a few months ago. I hope I don't have to go to CVS (spits) to get my COVID jab.
Government agencies will be the last to get vaccines, if they're made available at all.
My CVS says it is on order.
Our governor is holding it up, apparently.
substack.com/home/post/p-...
Oh. That’s because the Russians in the White House are trying to kill as many Americans as possible.
Okay, that's scary!
An Emory Epidemiologist I know says they should be out in September.
I went to CVS three weeks ago and got the older version. Figure it’s better than nothing. I got scary sick from Covid without the vaccine. Still get pretty sick with it but nothing like the first time. I have had it four times.
CVS today offered up RSV, Shingles, Pneumonia & Flu shots. No covid vaccines!!
Might want to look into a commercial provider.
Assuming the 2025-2026 vax is approved by ACIP/CDC, the problem may well be it might not be covered by insurance because worm-brain says it shouldn’t be for healthy adults, only for 65 and older, and may only be available for under age 65 with a prescription. Hard to know if smarter to get (cont)
what is still currently available and covered even though it’s last year’s, in order to get something rather than nothing…might want to consult with a pharmacist directly, or PCP
(cont) I read cash price is approx $140.00
Trump and RFK Jr. to Ban COVID-19 Vaccine ‘Within Months’ www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
But both get the latest shot just before doing so
And they’ll continue to. They’re only going to ban our access to it.
“Like Kennedy himself, no Trumps hold any scientific qualifications.”
Gold standard science, my ass They mean science made up by quack doctors This is the only time I'm happy I'm over 65. My heart goes out to those who are younger than me and want the vax On that note, I need to get the latest variant shot
It's not available at all. I called our pharmacy, my husband and I are in our 70s, they have no idea if they will even get it.
😠 😡
Im going to be very, very sick. I take an immunosuppressant for a blood disorder that causes me to make giant red cells. I am very compromised and won't have a great chance of fighting off the flu or covid. Thanks, RFK.
My husband is a kidney transplant patient. Covid would likely kill him.
Late stage cancer patient in our home. I’m feeling the same.
I’m sorry and scared for you, and for all of us. This administration is an absolute nightmare
Can you get to a border? (This is me sounding like a Handmaids Tale cast member).
I live very close to Canada. I'd move there if my husband would go, but after all the time I've put into him, I'd hate to leave him here...he's an old guy.
I’m thinking for a short vacation. A vaccination vacation? You can take the old guy if you like 🤣🤣😂😂
Well jeez louise how're they gonna pay fir Trump's private army if they have to subsideese health care? Sorry, it's all just so stupid and awful. I wish you the best.
😔
www.cnn.com/2025/08/27/h...
Access to medicine is a civil right. They are denying our civil rights from every angle. HHS is run by a depopulationist.
Is that like a murder?
Euphemistically
Yes. Telling us to replace it with raw milk should be viewed as another assault.
100%
Luigi had a real and working solution to this exact problem and half of you self-righteous fuckheads on here (maybe not you) virtue signaled us all to death over it and wouldn't stop bitching about us supporting murder. Yeah, I endorse murder sometimes. Suck my cock everyone lol.
I think they want the "genetically inferior" to die. I truly think they do. Meanwhile they think Trump is an example of the Master Race
I don't understand how it's legal for RFK to tell you what you can and can't get vaccinated for! How is this possible?
Can’t the pharm companies dispense it?
Contact you’re pharmacy, they have better information than most doctors on this topic.
Why are they trying to kill their fellow Americans…
For profit, always. RFK, Jr. and pals have some kooky "health" companies which are a total grift. He wants to sell more of the crackpot "health" products.
💯💯😖 RFK,Jr. is an anti-vax profiteer, so disgusting and hypocritical.
They don’t care about any of us
To them we aren’t “fellow” anything. They were the rich and powerful before they were in positions of power. They have always felt animosity towards the commoners. They would be content with everyone but them being dead.
Dr. Aseem Malhotra, has a career as a licensed medical fraud Almost every company including the military give annual performance evaluations to their employees As much as these evaluations may be flawed... Employees are let go BEFORE they FUCK UP not after based on malpractice insurance
I hope they catch it a bunch of times.
They are literally trying to kill us. We can be sure they will get their vaccines, though.😡
A real "Plandemic" #TrumpVirus Team Felon, No Justice
Failure by design. I still remember you asking Chuck Schumer to have Senate investigate COVID. (As many of us did) No Justice
Great.
Sad, don’t expect it will be delivered. 😡🔥💙
They stopped them in Ontario on June 30, with no notice, and said the next ones will be in "the fall". They want us sick!
Same.
I tried to get appointments at both Walgreen’s and CVS this morning. They both say they are not offering Covid vaccines until the new one comes out, which will be “soon.” 🙄
That doesn’t sound good
I would suggest after the next outbreak. Where I’m living there has been a spike in infections in the last month. Still very much with us.
It’s like when I asked to get a booster for measles and they told me at cvs that they were out of stock when my daughter stepped on a rusty thumbtack I tried to get her, her booster shot for tetanus but they once again refused to give it to us stating they didn’t have it. I tried Publix they had it
But they refused because it wasn’t prescribed by a Dr which is wild if we had any good drs out here then I’d have taken her to the drs for the shot. I finally took her to urgent care and they gave her the shot. It was crazy to me the entire time. I’ve never been told no we can’t get a vaccine 💉
Measles vaccine is hard to get in some areas as supply was shifted for the outbreaks. As for the other, pharmacist authority to immunize varies widely from state to state. You may have run up against a practice restriction in your state. It’s going to get really bad as ACIP recs start changing 😞
local community college student health center said they probably won't purchase the new covid vaccine because it's no longer mandated and they don't want any to go to waste. told me to try cvs 😕.
RFK Jr. will get his secretly then make it illegal to provide it for the rest of us.
Heard from a pharma rep that most pharmacies sent back the “old” vaccines and shipment of new one is pending ACIP vote of approval. Any day now…..
I cried tears of relief when I got my first vaccine in 2021. Now, to think we may be denied this protection—because of one man’s insane beliefs—is rage-inducing.
That's fucking pissing me off. They'll have enough vaccines and medications for every motherfucker in that wart sucking administration. They'll probably release the damn virus, shut down care and turn off their phones and see what happens. You maga fuck heads really fucked up😔
I paid for mine last year for the same reason. I fully expect to pay for this year’s version if I can get it.
Your insurance should cover it, if your doctor prescribes it and sends Rx to the pharmacy. I had to do that for the offbeat ones like RSV & Shingles.
The FDA made their flu vaccine "behind closed doors" virus picks without the outside experts advice for this winter since #RKFjr got rid of the panel who studied and advised the FDA. *sigh*
Ridiculous.
It may not be coming according to the nut in charge of HHS.
Look around, because they may not get any!
I was told by my pharmacist that the old vaccine is considered dated now - like the flu vaccine that is different every year - and the new one is not available yet.
I once went to buy an item that came up on sale at a great price, I rushed down to the store to buy it. The clerk told me that they had already sold that one??? Why the fuck should any health clinic be out of covid vaccines? We get all these dire warnings about covid, but no vaccinations available?
The beginning of
I was told there is a new formulation coming in the fall… So I am guessing my next vaccination will be in Mexico.
I was just told yesterday that once the pharmacy ran out they were going to wait til October for the one that handles the new strain. With the crew we have in charge I'm not 100% confident that we'll have an October let alone the vaccine.
They may release one - I’ll be interested to see what’s in it. I hope it’s not polluted pond water to make us stronger.
😂
I don’t think a new one exists for this fall. DOGE cut the funding in February and then JFK Jr. stopped production. The “newest” one is probably the same as last fall’s.
Not true. 25/26 covid vaccine formula will be approved soon.
Good. I heard (read most likely), months ago, that we weren’t likely to get a new one.
Media scare. abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/f...
I'd say road trip to Canada, but the bullies at the border would probably lock us all up.
I think RFK Jr is getting rid of the covid vaccine.. I could be wrong but I wouldn't doubt it
and then you got to ask yourself the new covid vaccines were they made with biden's researchers data before they were fired or are these new shots made up of JFK Jrs researchers which we know they're not scientists and don't believe in vaccines in the first place.. Makes me wonder😡
I guess I am asking for Pfizer and not Moderna this year (if it shows up)….
and tell you what I've done though lie to my doctor tell her I tested positive to get a dose of that Paxlovid.. I have now hoarded up two doses working on getting a third next month just in case i catch something because they're going to run out of this medication like they did before.. Think ahead🤔
at least that's what my Pharmacy cvs told me
i think it's the Pfizer that they're out of
I’m due for my booster in October but I wouldn’t be surprised that they wouldn’t give us the alternative anymore. Sigh.
CVS says a new one is "days away."
The last Covid vaccine issued in fall of 2024 is set to expire the end of August and I’m sure they are not being restocked because there was supposed to be a new updated vaccine for fall of 2025 but the pharmacists have not been updated by the FDA yet!
Same. My medical center has last year's versions of covid and flu. They said they'll contact when this year versions are available.
RFK: We're not Anti-Vax .. we are Pro-Natural Selection. bsky.app/profile/opsa... Some have fallen into the trap: "RFK said something sensible a while back; therefore, he must be trustworthy". He did, but he's not.
Yes. The pharmacy we get our vaccines at doesn't even have Covid listed. I emailed Rep Moolenaar, useless answer about how he supports the FDA. I think they will not even allow the new covid vaccine to be distributed. Conspiracy theorist at work for our health, right? #vaccinessavelives
Don’t think it’s out yet
My pharmacy said September.
I asked the doctor I used to get vaccines from. She said no, and to check with the County Health Department.
Kaiser has told us the 2024/25 boosters are gone, but that the 2025/26 ones are expected to be available in Sept. Let’s hope, bc here in CA COVID is on the uptick.
I hope that's true, both my Mom and MIL have Kaiser in SoCal and a lot of their friends have come down with Covid, again.
My neighbors entire family has Covid right now and 2 of them had to go to the ER last night. It is spreading in California right now.😥
Scares the shit out of me that Bob Kennedy the Lesser might outright ban COVID vaccines. I got a booster in April but I don’t think it’s effective for the latest variant. Stay safe. Probably time to mask up again.
Nobody should have ever STOPPED masking. The useless MSM stopped talking about it, but we are still in a pandemic, and as you know, now a COVID wave
My doc said I should wait for the new one - is it out?
Better keep checking because RFK will ban the mRNA vaccines within the “next few months”
I had a check-up yesterday, nurse didn't know and then talked about setting up processes for flu shot clinic in the works. Said it would "probably be both, like last year. "
In Calif. our CVS was out as well. And maybe will get more.
Wonderful. That's all we need. UGH! 🤮
Since drone warfare doesn’t need many soldiers maybe they think they can just throw us under the bus. But thinking about it now, we made a lot of noise and got agent orange remuneration.
I went into KP last week for a MMR booster and asked about the COVID vaccine. They said it won’t be available until mid/late October.
Ugh. I work in the school system and I dread this season. Not just for me but for the inevitable high number of sick children. The number of days missed will be more evidence of this administration’s lack of leadership.
But they have it at Wegmans. Go figure...
Sounds like the VA clinic is playing a game of vaccine musical chairs – everyone's waiting for the music to start, but nobody knows when it will.
My doctor’s office sent emails out letting us know they don’t have any yet
💙😡
😱ah shit i am 71 and got an upper resp virus which led to bronchitis been sick for over a week covid will kill me
Same happening at pharmacies as well.
Have been asking my provider for a month now. He said they are "waiting on the CDC to release it, they have no idea when that will happen." GD it.
Just got Covid, the flu, not the vaccine😡.
This is fucking terrifying
Heard the same thing from my doctor’s office. They suggested I calI my pharmacy. The pharmacy doesn’t have any and doesn’t know when they will have any. I suspect that there won’t be any COVID vaccines available this year. Is this government trying to kill its own citizens? 😡
Same issue at Walmart pharmacy today. Got my flu shot though.
Given their supposed plan of getting rid of them, I’ll be asking for one on Friday
RFK will have more blood on his hands this fall without any new vaccines.
I went ahead and got my booster today with the current vaccine due to upcoming travel to Europe.
Where did you find it?
Kroger Pharmacy. It was the 2025 version to be clear. 26 isn't out yet.
Thank you. Don’t have Kroger here but it’s within reach by car.
I did that back in March. Same reason.
I was lucky to get a Moderna booster shot on Aug. 25th. Since we have a vicious psychotic idiot in charge of American health care right now, it might be my last. On the plus side, another vicious psychotic idiot (Laura Loomer) apparently wants RFK Jr. gone. Maybe he was once her babysitter. 🤔
And in Alberta, Canada, the government has decided to charge for the vaccine. It even told people to travel to British Columbia if they want one. Luckily, my province has lots available. I can see a new line of vacation possibilities - come explore beautiful British Columbia, and get vaccinated!
And note of course that vacationers may be detained and interrogated upon their return.
Danielle Smith is an a$$hole The people in AB that still support her, should stay in AB. Please don’t come to BC. We know the mindset, and it’s not welcome here.
Not to be stupid but aren’t these supposed to come out in September not August?
The info that new modification is not ready, the best time is the beginning of September. If...
Same at CVS, they offered me the flu shot, but not COVID, I asked, they said they don’t have the latest. Usually get my shots in October, hopefully by then CVS will have it.
Canada has announced its support for the production of Moderna’s mRNA COVID vaccine, as RFK Jr may well make it all but impossible to get in the US.
Going to Canada for my shots in October is not an option for me, thanks for the info, appreciate.

OMG, that's awful.
The new one is coming out in Sept/Oct. That's what a pharmacist told me. Was wondering if we can get the free at home Covid tests.
I suspect there will be a lot of vaccine tourism in Canada.
Don’t know if it’s possible actually, but I’m sure people will try.
can try mexico!
Oh yeah, I’ve never been but my siblings do and they told me it’s easy to get medicine there. Probably the better alternative.
I got mine at CVS a couple of weeks ago. Zero co-pay with insurance or Medicare (I have both).
The new one for 2025-26?
My insurance renews in October. Medicare I have Part A and B only. My insurance is through work and paid 100% by my employer.
No, the 25-26 covid vaccine will be approved in the coming days and widely available in the next few weeks.
Hummmmmm…well I guess I’ll get another one in a few months then. This one kicked my butt, though. About 24 hrs after I got it, every joint got inflamed. Never happened before, but I could hardly move for 24 hours. Couldn’t even hold the handle of a mug because my finger joints were swollen.
Good you got it though in case we can’t get an updated one. It doesn’t sound like a sure thing that a new one will be widely available. 🙁
It’s a very sure thing. Approved today. abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/f...
Yea! I qualify, too. I’m an old broad…LOL
I went to get one last week at a Safeway pharmacy. No new COVID shots, just last year's and I am too young (almost 64) to get one of last year's as a booster. The "CDC hasn't released the new COVID shots, yet". I asked, do you expect them? The pharmacist: not if Jr has anything to do with it.
Pfizer needs to bring Trump something very shiny and gold. Please.
I asked Kaiser Permanente for one and they said they are waiting for the updated version before taking appointments. I am starting to think I'm gonna have to road trip to Canada. So much winning.
Yep. I just got boosted with the last version. I’m headed to Mexico around February. I’m going to see if can get boosted while I’m there (if they don’t have it in the states by then). It’s ridiculous that we have to go to another country just to get a vaccine. 😡
Last year it was mid September
Not available in Ontario until "the fall".
Thanks for letting us know. Nice fall road trip through the northeast could be lovely. Do pharmacies give the shot there?
Yes, especially Shoppers - owned by pals of Doug Ford.
Also Rexall
Wait, aren't Canadian vaccines for Canadians?
Happy to pay for it if they let me. Moderna is making Covid Vaccine in Canada. Moderna is a US Company so I guess you could say it's a multi-country vaccine. Nice.
I have to wait for an invitation then book for mine. I'd check and post the price and availability for others to know. Our medical system is at capacity as is an understaffed.
I wonder if blue state governors will be able to get them directly from Canada or other countries.
We just opened two new facilities in Canada and will be making our own from now on.
Moderna is making it in Canada. Pfizer likely will. These are American companies. We could just be happy that this is a two country effort for Canadians, no? As far as I know there aren't Canadian companies that have developed a Covid vaccine but I certainly could be wrong. Happy to be corrected.
I checked CVS and their website is saying the same thing. Got room for one more on that trip to Canada? I'll give you gas money lol
Planning a quick business trip to Burlington Vt. in the next month or so and decided it might make sense to stay an extra day and drive across the border. Anyone know if I need to make an appointment of just walk into a Drug Store?
Bonus Canada 🇨🇦 is great!
I’d stay up there if you have the chance
I would if they let me. I'm retired, Canada is only looking for working folk. I would be happy to buy a home or invest but they don't have programs for that. I have a grandbaby in Chicago so Canada is actually closer to them than Virginia. Canada.....if you are listening please let me in. 🙏
if you find a way into Canada lmk- I found the same thing. Wish I spoke French and was a few years younger.
I was just saying that to my friend on the phone.
Same here, & I’m fkn pissed!🤬
We should be able to deduct all the cost from our taxes. Fkers. Just fking great.
At this point… 🤦🏻♀️ …I’m not at all sure any of us should even be paying any federal taxes at all… 🤦🏻♀️ …ditto state taxes… 🤦🏻♀️ …unless you live in a blue state that’s actually trying to help its population! 🤦🏻♀️ I really don’t feel right sending the #FascistGOP more money to do further harm to our own people!
I read that some pharmacies in Canada will give Americans the vaccines but you have to call first to see if they have the extra dosages and will have to pay. I personally would rather get it later, so it lasts the whole winter and that goes for the flu shot as well. Thank you, Canada.
The problem in the US is that it continues to be iffy. Any moment the clearly not ok RFK Jr. could ban vaccines all together. We are a country run by mentally ill lunatics. Thanks for the info Madeline. Sorry. US.
Make covid great again.
I spoke to my local pharmacy two days ago. They said they had no idea when they would get the latest version of the vaccine.
Same here. I spoke with the pharmacist, and he didn't know when or even if there'll be an updated vaccine available. And now we have DJT & RFK wanting to ban Covid vaccines altogether.
I’m 75 and as far as I know, I’ve never had Covid. I’m not especially careful these days, but I would like to get my updated vaccine in Sept. This is concerning.
Yeah. I'll be 77 in October. I'm going on a cruise in November and I sure would like to get my booster. It's not even a vacation, it's a seminar on a cruise ship. Can I sue JFK if I'm dead? I've never had Covid and I sure don't want it now.
The FDA just approved the new booster. Have fun on your cruise!
Was told new one will be in September some time. My place was out of the old one.
There are less and less benefits for Veterans today than a year ago. RFK and DJT are on a mission to kill all of us but unfortunately and iMO, the Veterans first...Disgraceful Administration.
I was told by CVS that it is not approved yet and not available and they dont know when it will be.
🤬
Moderna version is being produced in Canada. We'll have to see how long it takes to get here.
There are rumors there will not be "more". RFKjr is totally antivax!
😔
That sad. Guess getting it from a private source is financially difficult? Get mine free as retired employee of vaccine manufacturer. Get not nice comments for that.
Walgreens and cvs too. 😬😳
I was told the same thing
Walgreens has no ETA as well.
Restrictions now apply. NYT.
RFK does not intend it to be available, as I read on X. Might be wrong. In Europe there is no problem, shots with the updated vaccine will be distributed next month.
Pfizer is making the vaccine in Canada also so they can't be cut off. They'll have it in mid to late September.
Canada, same. They created their own vaccine.
Unless you need Novavax bc mRNA gave you adverse reactions (worsening of long Covid symptoms)then you’re just SOL Hospitals refuse to wear N95s & forcibly infect patients bc HCWs work while infected 🇨🇦will give people with disabilities MAID before benefits above the poverty line It’s eugenics
Looking for Novavax. Can’t find it
I’ll post if I hear of it in the USA Canada has already decided it won’t be offering it this year
I will be in UK, wonder if I can get there? Willing to pay
I was talking about the EU.
I won’t be on the Continent but will be in the UK. Wanted to get even the old booster before leaving but as OP said can’t find. Hoping I can find in UK
I don’t know. Good luck!
I need to go to a farmacia tomorrow. I will ask them about COVID and flu vaccines here in Portugal.
They get both vaccines in October. I merely asked to be placed on the notification list. Farmacias in the EU are great. I have an eye irritation. They provided me with a solution without having to see a physician. They are more like a first line healthcare provider.
I just saw that there is an executive order to cancel it
That's funny because without the vaccine tRump would have died first term when he got covid.
Exactly! They are canceling it for people like you and me, but you can bet that they (Trump's family and Admin) will get whatever they want/need!

Ask RFK Jr. … I won’t discount the malign influence of President Bone-spurs.
But do we trust the vaccine coming out of this administration?????
There IS no updated #covid vaccine. And under this fucking regime there won't BE any.
I called Walmart & Shoprite yesterday, 26.8.25, they both said,"hoping to order Covid vaccine middle of September." Neither had an answer for age restrictions.
😱
