I am new on Medicare this year and with AARP Medigap plan, can I just walk into a CVS pharmacy and get my vaccines with no charge?

Better half and I got RSV and pneumonia, today.
RSV arm more sore than pneumonia arm.
I got the Pfizer RSV vaccine yesterday. Not even a sore arm. I had to find a pharmacy which had the Pfizer RSV vaccine, and not the GSK RSV vaccine. I had a severe reaction to the Shingrix vaccine, and the GSK RSV vaccine uses the same adjuvant they first used in Shingrix.
Our PCP recommended RSV, Covid and Fluzone, so there’s probably not a consensus.
FWIW, RSV may be a one time vaccine, not an annual like some others. I found another source that suggested every other year is often enough. But frequency has not yet been fully settled, you may not need it again…tbd.
Our doc recommends vaccines in general but is not recommending the RSV vaccine to his patients. Not sure I understand the issues but since I only heard of RSV a few months ago I guess I can maybe wait a bit for things to shake out.
