23. Walgreens (Maine) has them, but they require a doctor's prescription

I'm over 65 and I made a Walgreens appointment online for today. I showed up and they told me I need a prescription first.
There was another older woman in line and she was pissed off because she'd just learned the same thing.
But -- they said they if my doctor called it in, I could get the shot. So I'm going in again tomorrow to get it.

We're not used to jumping through these new hoops.
