calling a busy Doctor's office and having one faxed to the proper pharmacy. Took me 3 try's and 2 pharmacies. My wife STILL hasn't gotten one even though she stood in front of the pharmacist with her Doctor's office on her phone.
1. Call the pharmacy and verify they have the shots and will administer them with a prescription.
2. A couple of friends gave up the calling route and drove to their Doctor's office and got a prescription directly face to face.
3. Even after all that some pharmacies will want you to "schedule" an appointment.
