I'm only trying to be specific because I know we have uninsured here and they will be out of pocket given Trump has ceased all public funding of COVID-19 vaccines. Some local public health departments might be able to provide them on a limited basis, however.

I'm glad you got your vaccine, though. Don't misunderstand my point, please.
