Our doctor doesn’t provide Covid vaccines. Says to go to a pharmacy.

Not all doctors offices are allowed to do all vaccines. The DOH can actually pull their vaccine permissions if they have too many instances with things like the fridge being out of temp. The Covid Vax has to be kept super cold so they might not have the right freezer type to stock it.

They don't want to deal with ordering or monitoring. COVID vax is fine at regular fridge for 4 to 10 weeks depending on which one. It's just not worthwhile for them to do the extra work to stay vaccinating unless they're a large practice with someone dedicated to managing the vaccines. State requires continuous monitoring devices for all state supplies vaccine and also require you to record and document waste.
