Why are doctors so reluctant to give it? When my husband asked his GP about the shot, he kinda poopooed it without giving a reason and said to check with insurance to see if covered. We don't care if it is covered but needless to say he wound up not getting the shot. I hope he isn't sorry.
Take care,
Eileen
