I got one at a CVS in Louisiana but had to have my doctor call in a prescription. Insurance covered it. There’s also apparently some weird supply issues. A colleague (who is over 65 and clearly eligible) had an appointment at a large hospital and they told her they were out of COVID vaccines but had plenty of flu shots. She was ultimately able to reschedule and get a Pfizer shot but they were still out of the Moderna one and whatever the non-mRNA shot is called.
It all sort of smacks of disorganization (possibly deliberate incompetence considering we have a loon with brain worms in the driver’s seat). But it seems like some people are having access issues and other people just waltz into a Walgreens/CVS and get their booster in minutes.
Texas here and I just scheduled to get mine next week. However, it didn’t say anything on the scheduling page about needing a prescription. Should I expect them to surprise me with that when I go in?
