Here in the US my doctor is a “private party”. They don’t work for the government, they work at a private business. Nor do I need their involvement to get a vaccine.

The pharmacist at my local grocery store can legally prescribe me a vaccine on the spot at my request, and an assistant can administer it. The pharmacy in my local grocery store is also a private business. For all intents and purposes, yes, I walk into a pharmacy and buy a vaccine.
