The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimate that as many as 130 million Americans could have a pre-existing condition -- that's half of all non-elderly adults in the United States.
That status may impact your COVID-19 vaccine eligibility in places like Pinal and Coconino counties here in Arizona, but the stigmas and shame surrounding that could have a negative impact on the vaccination process.
Asthma, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes -- these are all things that would be considered pre-existing conditions. If you have one, it impacts your health every single day, but even more during this COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, these conditions could play a big role in whether or not you're able to recover.
