Doctor here. Shots are unnecessary and anyone trying to charge you for them is taking you for a ride. First of all, Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin so it absorbs better when ingested with food. If the level is below 20 then prescription orals once a week for 12 weeks and then OTC. If over 20 then...

Jump to postDoctor here and sadly, a small number of people like that exist in my profession. That being said it's estimated that 98% of doctors are vaccinated.

So much for complaining, the guy apparently won Iowa, though the fiasco hasn't ended yet, at the very least he was tied to first place with Sanders.
