    Is it the new Covid shots? Sometimes it takes a bit for the insurance companies to update their formularies.

    They could also check if a different shot is covered. Like Moderna instead of Pfizer or whatever they were trying to get initially.

      it was both covid and flu. I dont know the details but I dont even think they were attempting to specifically get the new shot/a specific shot.

      they tried for 30 mins so I assume that was tried but idk

            Okay 2 things they might wanna try.

            Call that pharmacy and figure out which Covid shots they have, then find a pharmacy that has a different one.

            Pharmacies can bill medical insurance for vaccines, so if they were only trying their pharmacy coverage, try their medical.

            A lot of miscommunication happens in medical settings, sometimes the technicians are inexperienced (high turnover) and they enter things wrong or bill the insurance wrong.

            If none of that works they’ll wanna call their insurance and ask what is covered and where, if at all.

                Yeah I just hate hearing these stories and really want to help people get vaccinated. If I had been helping your friend I would’ve told them all this lol

                Our medical system is 10x more complicated than it needs to be. (100% due to capitalism)
