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.

It was someone who comes into the drugstore routinely to give shots. I assumed she was a nurse. It isn't someone who works there. That is the reason that you have to make appointment. She is there for two or three days every six weeks for the purpose of giving Shingles shots.

I had quite a warm ouchy arm for several days. Assuming my immunity was low to Herpes Zoster.
