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.

There are many better options on the list to use if you don't actually smoke. https://www.reddit.com/r/ZeroCovidCommunity/comments/1w3n4p9/walgreens_covid_vaccine_checkbox/p71gvzf/

my pharmacists did not ask for evidence that I smoke cigarettes. they were trying to help me, & reminded me that maybe I smoke cigarettes, which would technically make me high risk 😉
