1/ Popping back in with another #fallvaccine update. ๐Ÿ‘‡

In case you missed it, Friday (or soon after) the FDA is expected to license the Covid-19 vaccine. Word is that the label will be restricted to adults 65+ and people at high risk.

But a few organizations have made different recommendations.

  1. Pts concerned abt being left out of these restrictions shld discuss their individual health situation & the risks / benefits of vaccination w/ their PCPs. Your PCP shld be able to write a recommendation addressing your case so you can receive the vaccines best suited to YOU. The HHS is unreliable.

  4. For anyone who needs to know this: no pharmacy is going to double check your medical records to make sure youโ€™re in a high risk group.

    I have asthma, so I said I did and I got the vaccine early back in the first round.

    Just say you have asthma.

  5. Ok so my 13 yr old had Covid 4 times already and of course he has given it to me each time. I have the medical conditions but he doesnโ€™t get the vaccine? I have to still be exposedโ€ฆ? As a health provider, I am very disgruntled. I have had it 5 times and the last time was with the flu. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

  6. 2/ Yesterday the Vaccine Integrity Project met. This is a group put together to fill the gap of evidence-informed vaccine policy in the U.S. Scientists around the country looked at ALL of the Covid, flu and RSV literature in the past year.

  7. The term high-risk can do a lot of heavy lifting. ALL physicians draft a statement of medical necessity describing the risks of morbidity and mortality in all populations from C19. Have it as a dot phrase for your clinic notes. We know the science here. Cite sources.

  8. โ€˜Theโ€™ COVID vaccine-there is already or will be soon more than one vaccine against Covid available and you might need to update this information

  9. This is fucking ridiculous. As a nurse I am your livid right now. I am one of the lucky ones who have not contracted COVID. I have gotten every single shot and have never come down with it. They are actively trying to kill people
