21. It's the State of Florida mandating the prescription

CVS is complying with that requirement. Any pharmacy in Florida will require a prescription.
Do you have Medicare? Do you have a primary care doc? If so, contact the doc's office and request the prescription.

Here in NC we had the prescription requirement until our Dem Governor stepped in and took action to do away with the prescription requirement for seniors. The shots are no longer free, though, Medicare was billed for mine when I got it last week.
