Yup, need to show covid negative

copy paste this official note here:

Thank you for taking the Covid test

Your test result is : NEGATIVE

[Lurker]

Dude.

If I'm understanding right, the test isn't because of exposure, it's to show proof of health (possibly for simcha?). Really poorly worded, though.

Correct, and only to make one of the uncles feel better
Bkitzur: where can I do a rapid test?

[ExGingi]

Where can I get a rapid negative test in crown heights?

First place to try would be 749.

Any of the CH doctors doing vaccines? (If it's only unterin tish you can PM me)

Dr. Rosen's office is giving vaccines to those eligible. IINM they are calling those that are eligible.

they know my bmi?

[Yehuda57]

they know my bmi?

I'm assuming you meant this as a joke, but in all seriousness, IINM they can only give to those eligible by age and profession. The comorbidities like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc. will only make you eligible at Federal sites like Medgar Evans.

I'm not so sure you are correct on that. I believe they can also give to people with comorbidities (though I think there's also an age cutoff associated with that).

[AsherO]

Dr. Rosen's office is giving vaccines to those eligible. IINM they are calling those that are eligible.

When I called a few weeks ago it wasn’t elective, even if you were eligible the doctor there has to initiate contact, no waiting list and they can’t ask the doctors.

I'm not so sure you are correct on that. I believe they can also give to people with comorbidities (though I think there's also an age cutoff associated with that).

The age cutoff is for some comorbidities to qualify for an antibody infusion. Vaccine comorbidities have no age cutoff and you are eligible anywhere vaccines are available besides pharmacies (which are reserved for seniors).
