I went out the doctor last week, and they not only didn't offer it, they acted like I was insane for asking, and for wearing a mask into a building full of sick people. The medical profession in the US needs a major overhaul.
Might need to find a new doctor or state.
Working on both, but neither is fast. It took me 3 months to get into this doctor, only to find out they are a nut job.
That was my experience. They gave me a flu shot, but didn't even mention COVID. I just went to the drug store and got one there.
That's weirdly 180 degrees opposite of my experience.
Are you sure you're being 100% honest? Where do you live? There are ads for these at my grocery store. Not to mention the doctors office, and they still ask you to wear masks.
Of course, wearing masks is what we should do if we suspect we're sick. It's the sick/well kid's waiting room at the pediatrician.
I had a similar experience. Life is different in some red states.
I live in a red state.
I took live in a red state, and went to the doctor a couple months back and they mentioned the new covid vaccine would be coming soon.
Yes, that's life in the South sadly. I haven't seen a doctor wear a mask in two years.
