A sign at a Walgreens in San Francisco. This is intimidating and will only turn people who want to get vaccinated away. There's a CDC Bridge program that helps everyone get the updated COVID vaccine for free, yet isn't mentioned in the sign.

Got my COVID vax today free & easy by appt at Walgreens in SF where they already had my insurance on file. BUT there was this intimidating notice posted there with no mention of the CDC Bridge program that offers free vax to everyone. Local news also barely mentioned the program as a footnote.

So are these chains misinforming their managers so the managers wil misinform the public?

Am I the only one who has no clue where their vaccination card is? Why is that required, particularly in California where there's a vaccine registry that Walgreens can look up your last covid vaccine information?

The Walgreens was a bridge location where: "Adults 18 years and older without health insurance and adults whose health insurance does not cover all COVID-19 vaccine costs can get updated COVID-19 vaccines at no cost through the Bridge Access Program."

A Walgreens I called today did not know what the word "Novavax" was
