I just read that you may be able to get it at cvs or wherever with a doctors prescription. So maybe message your doctor and get that, then try. This is only in some states though.

The vaccine is now only approved for people with certain preexisting conditions. Thanks, RFK Jr.

Ah ok. I just know it would not look like I'm depressed if they were to administer the questionnaire


They can look in your medical records and find history of depression.
IDK how they plan to screen for these restrictions but when the shots first came out and were limited, people just had to check off on a questionnaire if they had one of the qualifying conditions.
However I think I saw somewhere that a pharmacy was requiring a prescription for the vaccine (so your doctor would have to approve).

I don't understand the question at all. What does taking an SSRI have to do with Covid shots?

Yes. You have depression that is being treated.

People with depression don't all look depressed. I was quite cheerful before my sewer side attempt.

Yes I think you qualify.

I really don’t know why they put depression on the list and not something like “heart disease.” It’s a very random list. I don’t think they put on things like POTS or hypotension either.

You ARE depressed, and the proof is that you take medication for your current condition. A condition does not go away when you are under treatment for it. It's just "managed".
