Hubby (77) and I (71) are scheduled to get ours today. Research shows our current Medicare Advantage plan covers the shots. And we didn’t need to go thru any doctor permission slip hoops.

Frightening to think that after this weekend, even Seniors exemption from the restrictions would be in question.
I think insurance companies are also hoping to not have to cover these vaccines. By restricting approval, they can save big on coverage.
