Did the pharmacist counsel you on “shared decision making” or did you come in with a note from your doctor.



No, and no.

They asked which arm I would like to get the shot(s.) Clearly he would have preferred the same arm, as we had to switch seats because I requested different arms.

The pharmacist didn’t even give me any paperwork saying, “this is the injection(s) you just had,” which is a little weird for CVS given that they normally hand you a piece of paper warning you about possible side effects. But, as I mentioned, there was a long line with just one person on duty administering shots.

And no, CVS let me sign up online without doctor’s orders, but the Covid and RSV shot are okayed for almost any age.

They were quite happy to give me a flu shot at the same time, but I said no.
