3. Our pharmacist says it's restricted right now for the most vulnerable of the vulnerable.

People on chemo, or with end-stage diseases, etc. Is that a state-by-state thing, or is that everywhere?

5. There is a list of who can get it right now.

"Currently, CDC is recommending that moderately to severely immunocompromised people receive an additional dose. This includes people who have:

Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood
Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
Received a stem cell transplant within the last 2 years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
Advanced or untreated HIV infection
Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress your immune response"

7. I think it's state by state. Around here you just have to say you're immune compromised,

and they don't ask any questions beyond that.

6. Ask for Moderna.

You want the same vaccine if possible.
