PSA: If you haven’t yet, it may be a good idea to get your COVID shot this week.

Reports suggest that CDC may further restrict COVID vaccine access to people aged 75 and up, unless you have an condition.

The committee that advises the CDC on vaccines meets this Thursday.

RFK Jr.’s CDC may limit COVID shots to 75 and up, claim they killed kids

A battle is brewing over mRNA vaccines, which could intensify backlash against Kennedy.

Several states have issued orders so that COVID vaccines will be widely available even if the CDC decides to further restrict access this week.

However the majority of states have not taken any action to protect COVID vaccines access. Please call your Governor’s office!

@luckytran Promising news from Wisconsin also, although this is shy of details of implementation. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/09/15/tony-evers-directs-wisconsin-to-issue-its-own-covid-19-vaccine-guidance/86170654007/

Your warning about ACIP nudged me to get the family’s vaccinations in this week as a hedge. Thanks for that.

Gov. Tony Evers directs Wisconsin health officials to issue their own COVID-19 vaccine guidance

Gov. Tony Evers signed an executive order aimed at protecting access to COVID-19 vaccines in response to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s eligibility guidance.

@luckytran Worth noting that Democratic presidential hopefuls Newsome and Whitmer are among the governors who have not used their executive power to protect their constituents' rights to protect themselves from disease.

@luckytran I'm hopeful that the West Coast Health Alliance means I'm okay in Hawaii. If not I'll find a condition I can claim. Planning on sometime in October.

Yes, I got mine ASAP because who knows what Sideshow Bob will do next.

In many states, as in mine, you "self attest online" i.e. lie as necessary on the CVS website and schedule your vaccine. I am under 65 and have zero conditions on the CDC's bullcrap list, but could falsely claim "physical inactivity." I was prepared to, but the pharmacist didn't even ask any questions. Assuming your state government has done its legal job, the pharmacists are on the side of sanity.

@luckytran i got mine last week but it was kind difficult. I had to call the pharmacy and confirm that I could get it but in new york thanks to Hochul don't need a prescription. Just need to tell them that you have an underlying health condition.

@luckytran Smart move. People suffering and dying are easier pray for griftets blaming it on ”radical leftists” or ”immigrants” or ”transgender”, of whatever the name for ”witch” is today..

Do you know anything about Covid vaccines for ages 2-18?

Pediatrician said the state "hasn't released the shots for kids yet" so I couldn't schedule vaccinations for my children at the doctor's office.

Tried to schedule them for Covid vaccines at a CVS over state lines but the pharmacist there said "they are only available for people over 65 or with a condition".

How do I get them vaccinated?

(Already called the governor's office to ask what the hold up is and advocate for vaccine availability but got voicemail and no response yet =shocker=)
