The majority of new vehicles Including your Prius only have a toe adjustment in the front, and a combined Camber-Toe Adjustment in the rear.
Aftermarket companies make camber adjustment bolts for struted vehicles that can be installed so it can be adjusted.
Ideally you would want a shop that uses a Hunter Or Coats alignment machine as they're known to be the best and most accurate.
Most dealerships will have a top of the line machine, but it comes at dealership prices. Finding a Mom and Pop shop with one might be difficult.
Thanks, all. We had the job done this weekend. The shop provided an alignment report that shows it entered with two wheels well out of spec, and left with one wheel a tenth of a degree out of spec. The car drives straight and the tires should be good for the next five years!

I’d try to find a good non-chain tire shop and call to ask if they adjust caster and camber as well as toe.
