Apparently, it is still the case that some non-vaccination or incomplete vaccination is due to low information or limitations on access, rather than active refusal. Consider this story from another thread:
I’m not sure where to put this since it involves Riteaid instead of CVS.
I made an appointment for my booster today. I show up, no one other than me is at the pharmacy at 10am. There are 5 people working.
As I’m waiting for my booster an elderly gentleman comes up to the pharmacy. He’d like a booster and shows the person manning the check in his vaccines card. This is how the conversation goes.
Man- I’d like a booster
Clerk- we don’t have Pfizer, is moderna ok?
M-yes I’m fine I need a booster
C-it looks like you’ve only had one shot. We are only taking appointments, do you have access to a computer?
M- no
C- come back between 2 and 3 that’s the only time we do walk ins
M-ok I’ll come back the next time I’m in town.
I am so upset at this point. I am so sad that I didn’t think fast enough to offer him my appointment, since I have access to a computer. I did not see any one else waiting for a vaccine.
I say to the pharmacist that I am very upset, this man has only had one dose …
