I Called Walgreens to Ask About the Fall Covid Vaccine and When I Could get It

Em in Ohio said:
I had the two Moderna shots - and then got Covid in May from an extended family reunion. I'm waiting for the new vaccine due in the fall that is more attuned to the latest variant - and I'll get a flu shot and a pneumonia shot, too. The Covid kicked my butt and it has taken months to recover and I'm still terribly weak and easily fatigued. I don't want it again!

Oh no Em. So very sorry. I also plan to get mine as soon as they open up the new Fall one!

I don't recall the names of the pills. But, we (My wife and I) had to take three pills twice a day for five days. I will ask my wife to see if she recalls the name of the medications...if she does, I will post!

They gave us a medication called Paxlovid. It came as three pills you take every morning and afternoon. Two of the pills are the same and one is different, but they are called Paxlovid. We took these for 5 days. They upset my wifes stomach for a few weeks, not real sick, just stomachache. I had no problem with them.

I've never gotten any Covid vaccine shots at all and everyone I know has gotten Covid except me and they all got all their vaccine shots.

Same here. I never bought into the "Miracle Covid Vaccine." The only people I know who were very sick with Covid were vaccinated.

Interesting reaction last year when I saw my regular doctor for Rx refill for Insulin. It was during the big Mask Mandate.
The doctor said, "Well, after we're all vaccinated, we can throw away these stupid masks."
I said, "I'm not interested in the vaccine."
After a pause, he said, "You know, there's something to be said for that."
Not the answer I was expecting from a doctor.

Last week, a doctor was being interviewed about Monkeypox on a TV health channel.
After the usual "Everyone should get vaccinated," the interviewer asked, "Does the vaccine prevent Monkeypox?"
The doctor replied, "Uh......We think it should." What a creative answer. 😂

would you ask the pharmacy companies to only make drugs that are certain to work after years of testing and after competition has been eliminated so no one makes a profit?. should they not attempt to "cure" other diseases? and then make these drugs free?
