“By restricting vaccine access to caregivers who don’t meet age or high-risk criteria,” said Jason Resendez, CEO of the National Alliance for Caregiving, “the FDA creates a dangerous public health gap, as unvaccinated caregivers face increased risk of contracting and transmitting Covid-19 to the older adults and seriously ill individuals who depend on their care.”

Article mentioned going to Canada to get your booster might be an option. I’m going to have to look into that as I won’t be voluntarily forgoing a booster this year.

I initially clicked through to see if there’s a date this policy will go into effect but it didn’t say

I will probably try to first get a booster now even though it’s too early, then try saying I have a serious risk factor because I’m sure CVS doesn’t fact check that shit for walk-ins, then Canada if all else fails. Fuck you brainworm RFK
