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.

I belong to Optimum Health Care. They cover everything except for a $69.00
copayment. I will get the shot next friday at my doctor's office. The nurse told me that I don't need an appointment. I will go to Walgreens on Parr Dr. with my prescription and then go to the doctor's office. She said the vaccine is not frozen, but will be packed in ice for the short trip to the doctor.
I could get the shot at Walgreens but decided to have the doctor's nurse do it instead. I trust the nurse more than I trust a store employee.
