I would recommend that you go through a CVS Minute Clinic if you have one rather than the pharmacy. The minute clinic can prescribe medication, which a pharmacist cannot do. That will remove one barrier to obtaining the shot. But I'm sure it'll cost ya to do it that way. Probably worth the investment IMO rather than having a week off work sick.
