I think ANYONE who took zostavax should be given shingrix for free, OR some sort of refund or discount, no? Like anything else in life, when it is a defective/inferior product.

Did anyone actually pay for Zostavax?

If I remember correctly, it was (is?) very expensive. Not sure I ever had a patient actually pay for it.

Personally I never had anyone pay out-of-pocket but I did have some rather high co-pays. Some were north of $50. Hardly pocket change for many senior citizens.

I had people bitching about $3.60 (before they increased the Extra Help copay) so actually many expanded vaccines are a hard sell for Part D pts. Much easier if they have Tricare or FEP instead
 
Figure out how to get me 100+ shots to clear out my backlogged list of waiters for Shingrix, and I'll give you yours for free. Deal? We stopped adding people to the list when it started looking like some people wouldn't get theirs until 2021.

But your DM wants you to know why you're not hitting quota. Please give action plan by next week.
