I signed up online for the appointment, but when I got there the head pharmacist on duty said I was too healthy to be immunized. honk-enraged

I was so mad I walked out and didn't even get my flu shot. I'll go somewhere else for that I guess.

Go to hell, RFK Jr.

~~It's funny because the online questionnaire said I would be ineligible for the COVID vaccine if I had any health conditions. Then when I show up for the appointment they tell me the exact opposite.~~ Never mind, I misread the questionnaire; it says patients who do not have any of the listed conditions are ineligible.

I misread it because my understanding is that, typically, chronic conditions disqualify you for a vaccine, because healthy people are least likely to have a negative reaction to a vaccine and most likely to have a positive immune response. AFAIK the only reason for a healthy person not to be vaccinated is if they're not at risk for contracting the disease (e.g. smallpox).

If I had read it correctly, I would have been prepared to do the dance and lie.

At corporate?

Well, he was the head pharmacist on duty, but maybe he wasn't the head pharmacist for the store. I'd have to check.

I don't know this for a fact but I'm pretty sure the pharmacist at a physical walgreens has a boss and might be susceptible to the store manager wanting to make it go away if you come at them all mad as fucking hell/ vaguely threatening lawsuits for their refusal to serve you. Im pretty sure it's not the pharmacist's job to say "lol you're too healthy for this" anyway. What if you get a fucking doctor's note? A pharmacist doesn't know shit about you or your health
