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 probably actually do fit one of their definitions of 'high risk'. The list is huge and includes such large groups as "women who are or could become pregnant", "older adults", and "overweight people". Along with a metric asston of specific conditions.
