The states are:

Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia, along with the District of Columbia

In the rest of the US, you can get an appointment for the updated vaccine by using the CVS website to schedule one, and checking a box indicating that you have a risk condition. Among other things, being a smoker or being physically inactive count, so you can own up to one of those if questioned.

    Do these updated vaccines have the hangover experience that the Moderna has?

    I’ll be visiting my anti-vax family in the US next month and will sneak out to get the vaccine if possible.

      I’m expecting similar side effects from mRNA vaccines as in past years, but actual local appointments don’t start until next week, so I haven’t heard any direct experiences.

      You might try Novavax which was made using a different process if the mRNA ones take you down for a day

      ^ This is an answer that we should be able to put down. Or if there is a blank spot line to fill out: “…because I’m a fucking free individual, goddamn it. That’s my ‘preexisting condition’.”

      People shouldn’t have to fucking lie in order to get life-saving vaccines just to satisfy dickheads like bobby brainworm and dementia donnie.

      One of the risky conditions is depression. I’m depressed I’m living in a collapsing nation whose leaders no longer respect medical science.

    I’m thinking a whole lot of reality-based people are going to be checking the “physically inactive” box.

    Now, I just have to figure out why Colorado is on the restricted list. WTAF.

      All the restricted states listed by law follow the federal recommendations. The states not affected can make their own decisions. The governors of the restricted states could pass new legislation that allows them to act independently of federal recommendations, hopefully they do so.

    For those wondering about Walgreens:

    Walgreens, the nation’s second largest pharmacy chain, did not respond to requests for comment about the availability of Covid shots at its stores. But when a New York Times reporter tried to schedule vaccine appointments in all 50 states, the pharmacy’s website said patients would need a prescription in 16.

    Vaccine appointments also appeared unavailable at Walgreens in many states. That may, in part, reflect a supply issue, doctors said. But Walgreens’ note that patients need prescriptions in some states could signal confusion among pharmacists over whom they’re allowed to vaccinate.
