They should raise the limit, 45 is still too young. Gen Xers don’t want cancer either and some of us havent been exposed. I had planned on getting it but I’ve been uninsured or poorly insured since the pandemic
I have a nurse practitioner and she seemed willing to consider it when I brought it up when I talked to her several months ago but insurance or not I’d likely be paying 500-1000 dollars out of pocket for all the doses and that’s just not feasible for me.
they would have to approve, but your insurance might resist and not approve it, i dont think a pharmacy is willing to risk thier license, you just have to find a pharamcy that will be willing to do it. i tried asking for menigitis vaccine once, they resisted and said i wasnt “At risk group”. i did ask gardisil in the same appointment, since im not sexually active they would refuse .
only at risk group: if you are predisposed to getting exposed to it, like sex work, sexual partners lots of them, or immunocompromised.
Also RSV is not reccomended for <50yo.

I wonder if a doctor would be willing to administer it if asked.
