Good luck, Rosemary. Ironically, I was just on the Rob Relyea website https://covidsafe.fyi/evusheld/ which he created earlier because he and his wife had similar difficulties. There is a Geekwire story on Relyea and Atlantic magazine write up on the challenge for immunocompromised people.
So. I got my first shot in August after I contacted our hospital's president, whom I'd worked with on some workshops on Medicare, and asked why no Evusheld. They got on it, ordered some, and I got the shots. This morning when I went back. My county was not on the list. Go figure. My transplant center in Madison had a lottery for their shots. That's why I wanted to get it locally here. I'm due for the 2nd series in March. I guess the Feds only bought so much of this from Astra Z. Maybe they are running out. Anyway. People can check this website for updates on where they can find Evusheld. You'd think AZ would provide this kind of service.

I got some good news Friday afternoon! I got the anticipated return call! All I have to do now is get my doctor to submit a request form with my patient demographics and then, if approved, the infusion center will schedule an appointment. 🤞
I will be contacting my PCP tomorrow, to ask if he will do the request. I don't know if he will want/need information from my transplant team.
@joko, I am going to check out the site later today! One interesting thing that I have experienced is that evusheld is in stock closer to me (45 miles) but only for their patients. I'm in Kentucky. If I'm approved, I'm going to drive 86 miles to get it. However, it sure beats 750 miles to Rochester!
I'll post more when I know more.

My husband's transplant team is in Portland [OR]. They advised him last week to get Evusheld. I used the website you referenced and have found two possible locations closer to us for him to research and get his first dose. Thank you for the information!
