Zoster vaccine: A "burden"

Reasons why it won’t take off:

We are a six-doctor internal medicine practice, and we have no intention of offering the zoster vaccine.

It is a huge burden for a primary care practice, mostly because of the cost, but also because of the storage requirements. As a Medicare Part D reimbursement methodology, it is a given that reimbursement will be inconsistent.

We find it outrageous that this sort of risk is being dumped on us. We will refer those interested to the county hospital.
