Dick, I really doubt (impossible) to have these shots at home. I wondered the same thing. The person mixing the two part Vidaza "gowns up" when mixing. At one location that I use the person giving the shots also "gowns up". They don't start mixing the Vidaza until they see me because of the cost of the material. A nurse gives the shots. I have a niece (who is a nurse) who is readily available to give the shots and there was no consideration to let that happen.
I started out getting the shots about 1 1/2 hrs. from home. Then our local (small) cancer center said they could do them. It makes a huge difference in the time commitment. If I were you I would really work hard to find some facility closer to home that might give the shots.
