How to get vaccine without going to travel clinic?

Long story short, I got a HepA vaccine about 6 months ago. This vaccine requires a 6 month booster (about now). At the time I chose the travel clinic mostly because they have the vaccines on the spot and could recommend vaccines based on where I was traveling. Unfortunately they are not "in network" meaning that visit cost me a couple hundred $$ as I recall.
We have met our yearly OOP (DW is a teacher and our plan year is July-June) and so any "in network" things I use are free. I just called my PCP (primary) but they don't offer HepA vaccines (only basic stuff like Tetanus etc).
So are there any other avenues to get the HepA booster "in network"? Would a hospital have such a vaccine? Honestly I had thought that the PCP could "order" the vaccine (I realize they may not have it in house simply because it's not given often) but that doesn't appear to be the case.
