A friend of mine (our age) got shingles last year (or was it the year before...oh COVID....). Anyway, she said it really really sucked and has been telling everyone to get their shingles vax. I was trying to figure from Aetna out if I can just drop in at the local pharmacy, or do I have to go thru an in-network provider to get insurance coverage. I called 5 of the closest in-network providers and all of them are disconnected numbers. I finally did an online chat with an Aetna person and asked and they said I could just go to CVS. I called the local one (in Target) and they don't take appointments, but said they have the vax in stock and to just come on down for a walk-in appt. I'm planning to go for the 1st shot at the end of the month. Shannon is on Kaiser and can't go anywhere but there for hers. since we heard this shot is an ass kicker, we wanted to get them done at the same time and that's the earliest she could schedule one...
