I tried for 1 week and even called my Prim Care doctor (who is coll and a Dem) to give me an Rx and he said he couldn't since the CDC decisions are constantly changing and on that date I couldn't even get an appointment for a vax through CVS.

So last week I decided to try CVS again since some DUers said they got a vax at CVS in CA. I'm grateful for DUers sharing info since I was finally able to schedule a vax appointment. I made it for that same day since I do not trust Kennedy and I could continue to be denied next week or next month since he is so insane.
