Dr. Susan O'Dwyer:

We are restricted to providing those medications only when presented with a prescription with a written instruction from a doctor that says "please administer this vaccine." In that situation it can be done. However, it is not the same as a flu vaccine. If one wants to get a flu vaccine from a pharmacy, one can walk in and get it. HPV is not included in that Schedule, but we see that as a vaccine that could definitely be added to the Schedule and delivered in pharmacies.
