well what did you do during covid? Even if your school/employer didn't require vaccination during covid, most schools I attended at different phases of my life, well before covid, required some new vaccine or other. I think in the US it's pretty hard to get through school without visiting a doctor after childhood vaccines.
replyI get my vaccines at the pharmacy. At my current age its flu and COVID every year. TDAP every decade. I'll be adding more once I'm in my 50s, which is rapidly approaching.
replyInteresting, my insurers, through my employers, have always required a annual physical
replyRequired in what way? Better coverage (or lower rates) if you do it? Or is it literally no coverage if you don’t?
replyMaybe they meant life insurers, not health insurers?
replyThat's interesting, I haven't ever been required to do that. I tend to have an annual checkup around my birthday, though it isn't really a physical exam anymore, more of a "hey lets do some blood tests and discuss if there's anything noteworthy we should talk about." They quit actually poking and prodding about the time I turned 45 or so. Doctor says the physical is mostly a waste of time.

replyUSA, I havnt had a physical in ten years. I would be shocked if someone asked for it in a professional setting.
replyWell that's interesting. Mine always say it is covered, I've never had an insurer (in the US) say its required. I could see it for certain types of life insurance, maybe?
replyI have never seen or heard of this requirement before. I don’t even see how it could be enforced. What would even be the point, the insurer (even if employer funded) is not allowed to deny or price coverage based on health risks of the insured.
replyEarly detection, while things can be cheaper to mitigate?
replyFixing hole in tooth is far cheaper than replacing a full tooth, for example.
