Vaccine refusal rant

[Anonymous]

I'm back - I've now been refused 3 times for a vaccine.

Once for my child for not bringing proof of age

Once for not being allowed to get MMR and COVID booster together (not what the CDC says)

And once for MMR and needing proof from my doctor. I have a low titre and want to try to conceive.

Are you ducking kidding me? Are there people out there getting vaccines for fun?

Where are you going? Just go to a VDH site- no documentation is required

Troll. No place is asking for proof of age for kids.

It sounds like you don't understand how vaccines are treated medically. They are not an OTC product. COVID vaccination is happening everywhere to everyone rn because the FDA OK'd and CDC recommended for everyone over 5. The other vaccines in the market are recommended and approved (and paid for via insurance) only for people in certain situations. Childhood is one of those situations. But for adults, you have to be X age or have Y medical problem to get shingrix vax, etc.

You can't just go get an MMR because you want one; you have to be a person in the bucket for whom it is recommended. Your low MMR titer is in that bucket but it's in a part of the bucket where documentation is required. Since you didn't show up claiming that you'd never received one (which would also have put you in that bucket and required no documentation), you needed documentation. But that's how all vaccine administration works.

1--same, they need to make sure the kid is in the age bucket. 2 is stupid, you got a dumb provider.

I'm a scientist, I understand vaccines. I've never been asked for a vaccine Rx ever in my life. MMR is currently short in supply so I've been to 4 pharmacies to get it. Only this last one insisted I needed proof from my doctor.

I'm sick of pharmacists playing doctor and trying to pull rank.
