We use bayada agency for a nurse's aide, and they directed me to one of the medicare agencies, which as a community service, would come out and give Sam the shot, after they had called the internist and gotten the ok. Our internist gave us a prescription for a flu shot, but one group wanted me to provide the vaccine. The internist apparently knew nothing about this community service. I don't know if there is any service like that available to you I hope so. A lot of time is spent on the phone rounding up all these services. Lou Reynoldsi ct I could get at the pharmacy.
