This is the exact moment to start a discussion about how adverse reactions are covered by insurance. Be sure that you check your policy first.
My coverage requires preapproval and participation in the clinical trial to use clinical trial treatments, so anybody who took the shot in my major employer may not be covered for that. Sad trombone.
My insurance company tells me by phone they are covered, but will not write a letter to that effect.
So you have to record the phone call. Usually when you call them it says the call may be recorded for quality purposes and this will give you a green light. Otherwise you just have to let them know you're recording the call and refuse to stop recording it.
It was much easier to not take the shot. A recorded call would have been high impact journalism, tho.
