The Porter CVS had vaccine at the pharmacy, but the Minute Clinic ran out. My insurance only covers vaccinations at clinics and doctor's offices. I have no idea why CVS couldn't redistribute the vaccine *within their own store*.

Strange - I thought under Obamacare, all insurance policies had to cover this as preventive care. CVS took my Neighborhood Health Plan insurance without complaint.

my insurance covers the shot as preventative care, but only at in-network providers.
