This is in response to Fred Schwab’s letter , "Getting COVID vaccine is harder thanks to GOP nanny state." My husband and I are in our 60s and wanted to get the COVID vaccine prior to traveling abroad. I got a prescription from my doctor, arrived at Walgreens for the scheduled shot, but was told I could not receive it because I am under 65.

I contacted my physician, who forwarded my prescription to CVS. I was given an appointment for the vaccine in Picayune, Mississippi. It was a long drive to get ourselves vaccinated prior to our trip. Thankfully, we have the means to do so. Unfortunately, most Louisiana citizens do not. Just another reason to leave this unhealthy state.
