@RVLara23 @allanfriedman In many places you can get vaccinated for cash on the barrel and just state your name and date of birth without providing ID. You can simply state that you're 50 years old if that is at all believable. In the US, many community health centers do not require any form of identification, as to do so would be discriminatory against undocumented persons in the community and harm public health reach and prevention efforts.

@RVLara23 @allanfriedman Since the start of the covid pandemic, I now know two people below the age of 50 who have gotten bad Shingles outbreaks in the wake of covid infections. Basically Covid suppresses your immune system and it's often enough to allow latent viruses in your system to flare up. I seriously think in the wake of this common occurrence, that standards of vaccination should change and the age to get vaccinated lowered.
