Don’t know why they would need to your S.S. #, that’s pretty personal & that could give them some very personal in & & out information of your personal things that they don’t need to know. When we got our Covid shots we just had to sign a form saying you gave them permission to give you a shot, name, address & phone #. I’ve heard of one case that they asked for S.S. # & this person ( a lady) just put 000-00-0000 & she still got the shot no questions asked. So if you want the shot let your conscience tell you what to do!
