Showing Original Post only (View all)Would you lie to get a booster shot? [View all]
I got the J&J this past spring. Since Ive been back to my elementary school, multiple staff and students have been out sick with the virus. I have ulcerative colitis, which does not make me more susceptible but can possibly make me sicker if I get it. (Having to do with poor gut flora and mucosa, and non-stop inflammation issues.)
I asked my PCP about a booster this summer, but she says the CDC isnt calling for them yet. I dont want to be that person who replaces a doctor with Google, but most of my colleagues also got J&J so Im getting nervous.
Would you attempt to get an mRNA shot, or even just another J&J? Would there be an issue on the insurance side of things?

No. I don't like lying and I'm not good at it. Think I fall into the old enough category anyway.

Some weeks ago I shared a link to an article about someone lying to get their booster shot
