It's not even available for me yet, how am I supposed to help this stupid statistic?
- There are no restrictions on getting this booster. It is recommended even if you have had an older booster recently. In my area, Walgreens and CVS are the only pharmacies who have it. I was able to make an appointment online and get the shot within a day or two.
- How is it not available for you? There's no age limits this time. There's been problems with supply; I had 3 appointments cancelled because they were out of vaccine before I finally got my shot.
