I don’t understand at all why they would put restrictions on the shot for you unless you have had previous reactions to shots or vaccines. I am in California and my company offers the pneumonia shot to everyone along with the flu shot each year. I had pneumonia in the past and for years had bronchitis a few times every year. I also occasionally have asthma from allergies. Ever since I had the pneumonia shot (about 9 years ago) I have never had another bout with bronchitis so I think it helps generally with all respiratory ailments. If I were you I would go to a general walk-in clinic/urgent care place (they all offer the shots here) and pay for the shot out of pocket. I am unaware of the CDC or any entity rationing these shots.

As I understand it it was not a matter of rationing but weather I fit the guidelines set by The CDC. The point is no Federal Government agency should make those decisions. I see my doctor in two weeks and will sort the matter out.
