I got the vaccine a couple of months ago and here is what I had to do:

1. PCP wrote a prescription for it and they scheduled a visit for the injection in a week.
2. Took the script to Walgreens on 441 across from Lowes and told them to have it ready on the day of my office appointment.
3. Called Walgreens on the appointment date to confirm they’d have it ready.
4. Picked it up at Walgreens an hour before the appointment. It was frozen in a little container.
5. Drove directly to the doctor’s office and received the injection.

I originally tried to get the injection at Walgreens but they said they weren’t administering them and had to use the above procedure. I believe I paid a $50 deductable under my Preferred Care Partner Gold plan.
