How to Get Prescription for Shingrix Vaccine Under 50?

I’m 46 and really don’t want to wait until I’m 50 to get the shingles vaccine. In the U.S., you can schedule a walk-in shingles vaccine at pharmacies, but if you’re under 50 they require a prescription for it from a doctor.

I have no desire to ask my GP for this prescription . . . is there any way to get a prescription online? I noticed that “weakened immune system” is one reason they might give you the prescription, and I wonder if my rapamycin use might be excuse enough to qualify for that.

You could try push health? They usually send the prescription to an online provider, but it can be transferred.
