ACOG refuses to follow the new (Kennedy mandated) CDC guidelines on vaccination. Kennedy threatens "liability" against doctors who follow their professional society's guidelines over the CDC's politicized rules.

Will I be able to and would I are two different questions.
Do you have an answer for either?
Sometime in the next week or three, I plan to stop by a local pharmacy to find out what I may be eligible for.

I was thinking to do the same.
I also had thought that if I wasn't immediately eligible, i might ask my provider for a prescription, but i would hate for that to get her in trouble.

@Axtremus - I assume you want the most up-to-date version of the vaccine, so be sure to keep an eye on the FDA news so that you know when they have approved this year's formula and that's what the pharmacy is giving you.

I've had a number of boosters and last Dr. visits for myself and MrsTuner, neither doc recommended getting any more at this point until possibly combined with a flu shot.
Reason? They just aren't seeing data that suggests that outcomes are different with getting boosters or not. With and without boosters people get infected and stay out of the hospital. Just two opinions in an urban setting...

On a related note....
US health secretary and vaccine sceptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move for a US public official. Aluminium has been used for almost a century to enhance the immune system’s response to some vaccines. But some people claim the ingredient is linked to rising rates of childhood disorders such as autism.
Public-health officials in Kennedy’s position rarely request that studies be retracted, says Ivan Oransky, a specialist in academic publishing and co-founder of the media organization Retraction Watch. Through this request, “Secretary Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky.
The study1 in question, published in Annals of Internal Medicine in July, is one of the largest of its kind, looking at 1.2 million children born over more than two decades in Denmark. The authors reported that no significant risk of developing autoimmune, allergic or neurodevelopmental disorders was associated with exposure to aluminium compounds in vaccines.
In an opinion piece published on TrialSite News on 1 August, Kennedy called into question the study’s methodology, analysis and results. Since his appointment as head of the US Department of Health and Human Services, Kennedy has bypassed normal scientific review processes to change vaccine recommendations and terminated grants for projects on mRNA vaccines.
Annals of Internal Medicine says it stands by the study and has no plans to retract it. Christine Laine, editor in chief for the journal, wrote in a comment on the study’s web page on 11 August that “retraction is warranted only when serious errors invalidate findings or there is documented scientific misconduct, neither of which occurred here”.
