. Sigh.
Sigh. I really want to be wrong in thinking there are going to be regrets.
Guess weāre getting to the point when longer term consequences studies are starting to come out.
ETA: Anyone having āWalmart potentially selling radioactive shrimpā on their bingo card?!?

Anyone want to weigh in more about the fall vaccines? I am so, so confused, and Iām trying to keep up to date. Iāve asked the drs at my teensā recent physicals and their info is way out of date, according to the news. They think I can just go to immunizations at the base hospital (these are military drs) and ask for it. THey seemed not to know about the stuff in the news about having to go to your dr first. I was trying to preemptively get letters for my kids saying they should have the vaccine when it comes out.

Iāll be interested to see if Military Medical follow the new CDC guidelines. New guidelines: if you are not over 65 yo you must have one of the qualifying items on a list to checked off to receive it. One dr. recommended using the item: ānot physically activeā, if you meet no other qualifying items.

I was thinking this as well. Not that it matters to me - since qualifying for Medicare I havenāt been to a military immunization clinic.

Curious, do you have TriCare for Life along w/ Medicare? I have to do that application this year myself.

Yes
Yes, I do.
And so far, very happy with it.
But then Iāve got only a few morbidities and theyāre common, like hypertension.
I do make the 70 miles round trip 4 times a year to the army pharmacy for my meds.

We stopped at Aviano & Lakenheath AB to get my Rxās refilled 
LH was a problem child but Aviano was great. Iāll be going by PAFB this winter. Nothing is near me

The local army post near me has a get in line app. Streamlines the whole thing so well.
But Iāve only used it a few times. Most recently I thought I had new scripts and texted the hospital pharmacy line. After a bit I recvd a text saying I didnāt have any new scripts but I could pick up the refills I still had at the px pharmacy.
I was impressed.
I think I am in a shared data base among participating army facilities tho each post seems to have their own number to text get in line to.

I LOVED when they digitized the pharmacy and started communicating through texts, it made life easier! And I do know that all our info linked throughout the military b/c while in the EU (stopped at two different bases in two different countries) they just looked me up in their system. It wasnāt perfect b/c one Rx they had to do a work around for but other than that it was GREAT.

Yeah, working with different or even changing formularies is interesting.

Iām going to ask here since you all seem to have a wealth of knowledge and I am the worst w/ search engines. Iām trying to find out if we can get our flu & covid jabs while in Greece. I know last year an MD said, āIāll have to look around b/c I am unaware that itās available here (c-19 vac)ā He never found it and we ended up back in the states and grabbed them. While at Lakenheath AB, I asked and they said I could come back in the fall when they were issued but we wonāt be thereā¦. soooooo, Iām on the hunt b/c Iād like them before we take that transatlantic relocation cruise
Summary
In other news, my DD & fam has changed her plans to meet us at WDW due to the news about vaccination policies in FL

I searched unsuccessfully also
In MO CVS has covid vaccines so possibly most locations. In case you can get shots in the states before going overseas

Thank you for looking. We are currently overseas and will be returning, to the states, for a few months over the holidays before returning back to the EU. Iād like to get the jabs here but not very hopeful. Iāll reach out to our sailing group here too.

My friend is back in the US right now. She said that the flu shot should be no problem. You should be able to go to any pharmacy in Greece to get it. She is messaging a cousin about Covid. She believe you need to be a Greek citizen to get that. I will let you know.
