By coincidence, I got mine yesterday.
DW and I have the same PCP, and she went in to see him last week for a routine checkup. He gave her a scrip for each of us for Zostavax. We had both had shingles ten years ago, and we never want it again.
I checked online and found that neither Medicare nor TFL covered it (Tricare covers it if you get it from your doctor, but very few have it on hand since it needs to be kept frozen)
Went into my local Kroger supermarket and visited their pharmacy dept.
"Do you give the shingles vaccine here?"
"Sure do, and we can call your doctor and get a prescription faxed over to us."
"Never mind, I have one right here."
"Great, that will be $225, and it's a once in a lifetime immunization. Just fill out this little form."
Got the shot (didn't even feel the needle go in) and was out of there in less than ten minutes.
