Last week I called around to see if I could get a booster before schools open. I was told by several places that they had sent their Covid shots back and I should just wait until mid-September to see whether they get new ones.

Is this common for any other vaccines? I got a few in the past few years recommended by the doctor, but at no point did I have to show proof of anything to the pharmacy.
I poked around the pharmacy web site and there were a few that, upon selection, asked me to self-attest that I had a health condition that needed the vaccine. But nothing beyond clicking a checkbox.

I don't believe it is common for most vaccines. The pharmacists are typically qualified to help you make this decision for yourself.

Our healthcare freedoms are being diminished by the government. Didn't have that on my BINGO card.

Also, nice job further diminishing the role of pharmacists. I suppose RFK Jr. is too ignorant to know that pharmacists actually know medicine? They're not just pill counters (which, strictly speaking, is what a pharmacy tech does, not a pharmacist). In fact, your pharmacist is more knowledgeable about your medicines and your condition than your doctor.

I work in a very large corporate office, and Covid is showing signs of coming back in force - two close colleagues are down this week and several reports across the building. And I can’t get a booster because these ignorant imbeciles decided for me, based on non-scientific vibes?

It is maddening, but you can just ask your doctor to prescribe it. There are plenty of ways for them to justify it.
