The Houston link you sent is from Jan like the TN pdf, but is less strict on BMI and has additional criteria.

I wonder if in the official guidelines there’s a catch all criteria that allows Drs a lit of flexibility.

I read through one of the EUA. Seems kind of flexible with the High Risk requirement

So if you are older..say maybe over 40...you should look at your Egfr. I had no idea I have CKD based on that number because no Dr had ever told me.

You could then try to convince a Dr you are high risk. They may tell you that number is not enough to make the determination...but at least it is a start to try to get the infusion

THe other thing is a compromised immune system. Of course there are things we normally associate with that such as AIDS...but what about bone marrow disorders that cause wacky RBC. That is another avenue to look at if you arent fat enough or old enough
