They are in Europe. You can go to your family doctor and ask for a flu shot even if you are young and don't get it recommended by default. Same as you can go to your doctor and ask for lots of other vaccines because you want to travel abroad for instance. I paid for many vaccines in private in Austria in order to travel to certain countries. Don't see why I shouldn't be able to pay for a COVID-19 vaccine the same way.

Ah, sure. But the produceris selling to the doctor who is then administering the shot to you. Quite different from you buying the shot for yourself. Without an ordonance from a doctor you wont get a vaccine.

Like many people are trying to explain to you, you're just talking nonsense. You can get many vaccinations commercially without any kind of prescription in most western countries.

Many countries even have commercial chains of shops that do this - for example example here's a price list of a company in the UK.

In the UK even normal supermarkets offer for example vaccination against influenza as a normal over-the-counter product routinely.

Every year I go to the pharmacy and buy a flu vaccine. I can then get the shot in a way convenient for me.
