As long as your timing on your shot series is good, I think most places were happy to vax those who wanted it.
My blood disorder is mostly mild and doesn't require any sort of ongoing treatment, but it does affect my blood cell production which causes chronic mild anemia and does make me a bit more likely to get sick in some cases. But my dx was in childhood so I'd be hard pressed to provide any sort of proof now. Several doctors have monitored my bloodwork over the years because of it, but none of them reconfirmed the dx.
So I'm happy for the new guidance because now I don't have to worry about whether or not I'd get the one pharmacist who insists on proof of a qualifying pre-existing condition.

I had heard mixed reports as to whether pharmacies were asking questions about availability. So depending on which pharmacy you went to, you might have gotten in. Thankfully you don't have to worry about it now!
I don't have any immune issues so I was waiting for the official OK for all adults. I've got an appointment for this weekend for my booster.
