Five months. He'll be 50 in 5 months. (Well, less one day. 4 months and 29 days.)
He's actually on hold with Walgreen's right now. He hadn't tried them yet. Fingers crossed SO HARD. (Mine, not his, since they hurt.)
t edit FUCK. Walgreen's won't do it, either.

That is so splutteringly maddening. It's times like that when you just sit there, phone in hand, unable to even get out a sentence about how unbelievably fucked up and stupid the entire situation is.

Our Passport Health travel clinic gives shingles vaccinations. I googled Passposrt Health Cinncinnati and came up with this. [link]

Okay, so the pharmacist explained to Tim that it's actually a law (I thought it was a corporate thing, but it's actually a legality) -- because the FDA only approved the shingles vaccine for people 50 and older, *pharmacists* can't give it to anyone under 50 for any reason. However, physicians can. So this is the point at which he needs to tell the rheumatologist to get his shit together. If the rheumatologist can't/won't give Tim the vaccine, he needs to send the order for the vaccine to Tim's primary care doctor NOW.
Or he needs to let Tim start the Humira now and then get vaccinated in 4 months and 29 days.

How infuriating, Steph. I hope Tim can get the vaccine sooner than five months from now.

Unless I read the information wrong, his doctor (*any* doctor; hell, at this point, I'd take Dr. Nick) can administer it. Now the thing is getting his doctor's office to order the fucking vaccine and give it to him.

I don't even understand why it matters how old the patient is. Because it's not an issue of it being harmful in people under 50. It's just that the FDA approved it for people 50 and older, so that's what everyone is going with.
So. Much. Rage.

Man, I tried a perfume sampler at Lush, and it is the most nauseating smell, and now I can't get it off my fucking skin.

That is insane that they won't administer a vacceine they have in stock on a doctor's orders to someone under 50. That'd be like not giving heart pills to someone in their 40s because heart attacks usually hit at later ages!
