In most states, the pharmacist can administer a vaccine now. If not, you would want to get the vaccine and take it to your doctor or a clinic to have it administered. It is given in the back of your arm in the fatty tissue. It is a live virus vaccine so there could possibly be a rash or some swelling after the vaccination.
