Vaccine Resources in America

Hi! I just wanted to make a list of programs that provide recommended vaccines at low or no cost in light of everything happening with the department of health and government funding in general. I don't want to scare people, but I cannot imagine that funding for these programs will increase with Trump, Elon, and RFK JR in charge, and there have already been several measles outbreaks in 5 states so far this year, and it is only February.

If you are 18 or younger, the Vaccines for Children program provides free vaccines to those who are American Indian, Alaska Native, Medicaid-eligible, uninsured, and underinsured. Proof of this status is NOT required, and so if you have parents who would not assist in providing documentation, do not worry. Certain providers may ask for an administrative fee, but this will vary by location and will almost certainly be on a sliding scale. These programs are run through your state or territory health departments, which you can find easily through an online search or here.

Many states also offer VFA or Vaccines for Adults programs. Not all of them are called "VFA", but many are. Depending on where you live, searching your state, county, and/or city health department websites can lead you to low and no-cost vaccine programs in your community.

Even if you were vaccinated as a child, if you are unsure if you have received the full recommended vaccine schedule you should still look into these resources. The DTaP (Diptheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis) vaccine needs a booster every 10 years and/or every pregnancy to retain full effectiveness. You should also get flu and COVID boosters as recommended.

If you decide to call your health department to inquire about specific vaccination resources in your community, you do not need to worry. These people have gone into public health because they want to serve their community and ensure better health outcomes for everyone in it, and that includes you. With all of the vaccine hesitancy brought on by COVID-19, conspiracies about the ingredients inside them, fears that they cause disease, and concerns that they cause autism, your questions and desire to get vaccinated will be welcomed.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me and I am more than happy to help you find and reach out to resources specific to your area!

Louisana has put out a memo that they will no longer promote mass vaccinations

If you are seeing this, please make sure you are up to date on your flu and COVID shots. This has been a really bad flu year, and although the flu vaccine does not fully prevent infections, it greatly reduces the odds of infection, as well as the risks of hospitalization and death. I have heard a lot of people say “oh I don’t get the flu vaccine because when I got it, I got the flu and it really sucked.” Getting hospitalized or dying because you don’t have any updated immune protection sucks worse.

I also highly recommend making sure you have received the MMR vaccine due to the number of measles outbreaks we have seen so far this year. The average person with measles will infect 12 to 18 other people. It can exist on furniture or in an empty room for hours. Measles can also “reset” your immune system, which makes any past vaccines or disease exposures useless.

If you know anyone who is unvaccinated or undervaccinated, please send them these resources or tell them to reach out to me.

“everyone is mad at me and they just won’t tell me” —> “no one has said anything about being mad at me and i haven’t done anything to warrant being mad at so if someone is silently fuming about me and not saying anything that’s their problem and actually quite weird of them and i can effortlessly move on with my life”

[cheaphalloweencostume]

this took SUCH a huge deal of unlearning because, like so many of you, i came out of a home where being quietly in trouble WAS the default state, and i DID grow up not just with the assumption but borderline religious conviction that Everyone Is Mad At Me, I Am Bad, I Must Exist In A Constant State of Attempting to Pacify The Natural Rage I Inspire In Everyone. and no it actually turns out that my family are the freaks . and yours are too

“this isn’t true because i DEFINITELY silently fume at people in the hopes they’ll figure out what they did and apologize” that’s not good. you shouldn’t do that

“this isn’t true because the ex-friendship that traumatized me ended explosively after they were mad at me and never told me why” that’s not good. they shouldn’t be doing that

“i don’t think this is true because my current friend group is constantly icing me out until i figure out what ive done to upset them and properly apologized without being told” hey thats not good. they should not be doing that

if the peacefulness of your relationship with someone (familial, romantic, friendly, anything) can be destroyed by effective communication/asking them for effective communication, you have got to get out of there. if you can’t get out of there, you’ve got to throw away any ideas about what that person thinks of you because they have their own shit to figure out before they can accurately read anyone else
