Wasted morning for shingles vaccine mix-up

I received my first Shingles vaccination in November, and the nurse informed me my second dose was due in January. After getting a reminder to schedule the follow-up, I booked an appointment for today, the 14th. I walked 25 minutes from home and arrived early, resulting in a 30-minute wait. Upon seeing the nurse, she reviewed my records, asked health-related questions, and then unexpectedly stated she couldn't administer the shot until May. I explained that the previous nurse had specifically advised me to come in January, which was clearly documented in my notes. I was extremely frustrated having wasted an entire morning for this appointment. This marks the third unsuccessful encounter at this medical practice, and since I'm not a frequent patient, perhaps I should start visiting more often so they become familiar with me. For now, I'll wait and see what transpires in May, uncertain whether I'll proceed with the second vaccination.
