The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to send a clear message to pharmacies on a conference call this week: Stop turning away immune-compromised people when they come seeking fourth doses of Covid-19 vaccines
.
Although fourth doses are not currently recommended for the vast majority of Americans, the CDC has urged millions of people with compromised immune systems to get them. But many immune-compromised people tell CNN that pharmacies and hospitals have refused to give them fourth doses, leaving those most vulnerable to the virus without the protection the CDC wants them to have. "A lot of pharmacies are just not understanding.
"It's not good for people running around trying to go to five different pharmacies, because it's not safe," Jill Gottesman said. She remembers last week, showing pharmacists pages from the CDC's website, only to have them tell her they wouldn't give the shot. "It would be nice if they believed us," she said."We're not trying to pull one over on you. We just need the shot.
