The MinuteClinic was dispensing the vaccines. Previously, we'd gotten several Covid vaccines in the pharmacy, given by the pharmacist. Spouse saw a nurse practitioner, and I saw an LPN. We're both over 50 and have a couple high risk factors.

I'm so glad Gov. Stein signed an order allowing the vaccine without prescription, but I do wish he'd opened it up to all people/ages.

Gov. Stein: "Health care providers and pharmacists recommend vaccination as a safe and effective tool to protect yourself and your community from COVID-19, especially with cold and flu season upon us.

Today North Carolina issued statewide standing orders to allow pharmacies across the state to provide COVID-19 vaccines to high-risk adults over 18, including everyone over 65, without a prescription."
