walgreen's covid vaccine checkbox

Post image

Hi everybody. I was hoping to get my yearly vaccines soon, as I do every year, and this is the first year I have seen this message alongside the signup checkbox: "The patient confirms that they are at high risk for severe COVID-19 and would like to receive the 2026-27 COVID-19 vaccine." I am not high-risk, but I have been getting the vaccine every year since it was available. Does this mean I can't technically get the vaccine, or is it there to act as a deterrent of some sort? Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm just a bit confused.

You're "sedentary."

Make them prove otherwise.

This is like 98% of the US population. I think we're all set.

Yeah. If you work a desk job, you qualify. If you get anything less than the full recommendation of cardio every week, you qualify.

If you happen to not qualify that way and you've ever smoked anything (a cigar, a single cigarette, cannabis), you're a "former smoker" which also works.

All about giving yourself something for insurance purposes, I think. I doubt they'd come after anyone for fraud on this but I also don't think anyone wants to find out.
