Or just tell your doctor you want the Covid vaccine. They can prescribe it for you even against the advice of the FDA ("off label") or they can diagnose you with physical inactivity or a mood disorder and give it to you. This mainly limits pharmacists like at Walgreens from giving out the shots.

***please know that insurance may refuse to pay if ACIP doesn't go against RFKj. He stacked the committee full of anti vax medical and science people so I don't have high hopes. You may need to battle your insurance carrier. Just saying.

Insurance wants to pay for vaccines. It's much cheaper than paying for COVID hospitalizations and long Covid complications. Same with birth control.

No they don't. They usually base reimbursement on ACIP vaccine recommendations.

Or tell the pharmacist you are a former smoker.
