I was in MN and the drugs stores initially asked for a PCP referral for prioritizing I assume. I wrote to my PCP and was told Mayo did not provide referrals and I would be notified when the vaccine was available there. The drug stores indeed dropped the referral policy and I got my first vaccine 3 weeks before I heard back from Mayo Rochester. Now I"m afraid the same thing will happen with Evusheld. I asked about it at my PCP appointment on 12/16 and have heard nothing back. She didn't know what is was. I gave her the information. I am moderately to severely immunocompromised. Thanks, for your interest. Zakova

@zakova, @colleenyoung, and all...I received a message on my portal from the Mayo Florida covid task force or whatever, asking me if I was interested in getting the vaccine at Mayo. My understanding is the doctors were asked to submit names of patients with multiple co-morbidities who should receive the vaccine asap. I'm afraid I was one of those folks, so I got the vaccine at Mayo in Jan/Feb, the booster last month. Perhaps you don't have the many health issues that put you in that category. That's a good thing.

My PCP is in the community and isn't and has certainly been busy especially during the covid years. But, I think many of the PCP don't get the newest information. I only know what I know basically from doing online research and searching different sources I respect. They work for large hospitals or whatever ... I think I'm better informed and have told my PCP new information as I learn it, ask his opinion. He's always slightly behind the latest info

I will call the Crucial Care Clinic down the street tomorrow to see what they suggest and let you know what I find.
Blessings, elizabeth
