I checked all the pharmacies in my area and no one had it, but it is now showing as available, albeit in limited quantities so I'll be working to get us scheduled ASAP!

FYI there are NO COVID vaccines that are covered by the VICP (https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/covered-vaccines). They are only covered by the CICP. If you are medically injured from a COVID vaccines the CICP will not ever pay you pain and suffering or other damages. They will literally only cover medical bills which you didn't get covered already from your insurance. You will fight for years and years just to get that covered and that's if they even cover you at all which they probably won't. I was personally injured by a COVID vaccine and I am one of only 39 people to have received a medical payment for my injury. (See data here: https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp/cicp-data)

My insurance covered over $50,000 of medical treatment after I got myocarditis from the vaccine. Luckily I have good insurance and only had to pay less than $2000 out of pocket and it took me 5 years to get that $2000 back. The treatment I underwent was the worst experience of my life and the most painful. It was from a bad batch of vaccines and I wasn't the only young person in my area that received the bad batch.

The vaccine makers must be held accountable for paying for issues from their vaccines and that's what the VICP is for but COVID vaccine is not part of that coverage!

Do not get a COVID vaccine if you don't need it. Demand your local government officials make adding COVID vaccines to the VICP list a priority!
