This is what I initially thought but my friend said I could still, say, pay out of pocket. I'm hearing conflicting statements.
This is what I was told at Kaiser, then I went to a private pharmacy to double check. They aren’t allowed to give it, regardless of insurance or out of pocket.
If you lie and say you have an organ transplant or some equally serious immunological condition you can get it, and they aren’t allowed to ask for proof.
You will have to pay out of pocket though, and it will be awkward explaining why you don’t have insurance while having a bankrupting condition.
I believe you. Do you know if this applies to all states? If worse comes to worse I'm willing to travel to get my vaccine.
I was told by both that it’s a CDC issue, not a company or state issue. Besides leaving the US, lying is the way to get it.
