If you just want to pay out of pocket or with an HSA, etc. you can get many vaccines at a pharmacy. Might need to check if there are limited hours for that service or appointments needed. Not sure if Shingrix is one of them.

I've tried to get the shingles vaccine at Walgreens before and been turned down because I wasn't old enough.

[SoftTalker]

Huh. Well maybe not then. Did you make it clear you'd pay out of pocket and not insurance?

[tptacek]

Yes. I really want this vaccine.

Have you tried asking your PCP?

[tptacek]

I'm pretty confident I could talk my PCP into it! I'm just wondering if there is some easier retail way to do it.

If you DM your provider through their health portal it's likely they'll write an order without requiring an office visit.
