BATON ROUGE - Governor Landry is firing back at U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy for his suggestion that the state should provide a blanket prescription for COVID vaccines. 

It comes over the confusion about getting the vaccine, with pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens requiring a prescription in Louisiana and other states. 

Landry posted the following on social media, saying "the last time I checked you have a prescription pad, why don’t you just leave a prescription for the dangerous Covid shot at your district office and anyone can swing by and get one! I am sure big pharma would love you for that one!"

Cassidy is up for re-election next year and is facing heavy opposition from several fellow Republicans.
