COVID Vaccination

Thanks to the current administration's anti-vax stance, it is so difficult to obtain details about COVID vaccinations.  Apparently four formulations were approved within the last week, but don't expect any federal guidance on getting these shots.  But the vaccines should start to be available soon.  Considering September and October are the best months to get your annual vaccination, it's all rather last minute.  It doesn't help that they are no longer universally free for everyone, and I have recently changed my health insurance provider.  Naturally my new provider has absolutely no details yet on how to get a vaccination.  But I think I have to get it through them, otherwise I'll have to pay out-of-pocket.  What a pain in the ass.  As a high-risk individual, it is important I get my COVID shot - ideally at the same time as my flu shot.
