I went online to walgreen and scheduled for the same and we just got home from being boosted. The pharmacist said we could have gotten the RSV vaccine also but that seemed like a lot so he said wait two weeks then get the RSV. I hope you find somewhere that has it.

Keep trying. The federal government is not in charge of the vacine distribution , the commercial market is in charge.
Commercialization is the transition of COVID-19 medical countermeasures, including vaccines, treatments, and test kits previously purchased by the U.S. Government (USG), to more established standard pathways of procurement, distribution, and payment by both public and private payers (i.e., the traditional health care marketplace). Providing access to vaccines, treatments, and tests in the commercial market is something that manufacturers, logistics companies, and payors do every day, addressing a broad range of diseases and conditions.
Over the last year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has taken a series of actions to communicate to and engage with manufacturers, distributors, payors, states and local jurisdictions, territories, and other stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition of the purchase and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine to the commercial market in the fall of 2023.
Vaccine ordering through USG processes will begin to phase out on August 3, with a formal transition to the commercial market expected in mid-to-late September, pending regulatory action by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Our commitment to equity and access continues during this transition to the commercial market, especially for the uninsured through the HHS Bridge Access Program for Vaccines and Treatments.
