In reply to the discussion: So Covid just went away, huh? [View all]Lemon Lyman

We'd been waiting for our primary care doc to get the vax in for months this year. They'd requested it, but it was not arriving. We finally gave up a few weeks ago and got it at Walgreen's. Was surprised to learn that my shitty health coverage no longer covered the Covid vax, at least not at Walgreen's (the flu, Tdap, & MMR were covered at my doc's office). It was $250. Paid it b/c I'd waited in line already for so long.
The only other time over the past 5 years that a Covid vax wasn't covered is when I got the Novavax at Costco 12/23. Costco didn't take my insurance. Didn't know about it before time. Again, paid it b/c we'd waited in line and all that.

Got my booster today. They usually don't hurt afterwards, but I got a real sore arm now.

I had it last year and the loss of taste and smell is very troubling. We only have 5 senses.
