I went to my pharmacy to get mine, handed over my insurance card when asked. The techs got so frustrated trying to get the info to take, they just rang me up as a walk-in with no insurance, no added charge.
CVS participates in the govt program that gives the covid shots for free. I was between insurances when my husband left his corporate job and I’m immunocompromised, so I looked into it and while there’s a few schools and medical centers participating too, CVS is pretty much everywhere and it was absolutely zero cost to me.
That’s a great thing to have. I’m Canadian so vaxes are free up here (except for travel). Yet our stats are similar to America (about 15% of the adult population got the newest vax).
At a certain point, I think about March of 2022, most news regarding Covid was just sensationalistic. Every time I dug deeper into the science, the scientist were saying something like “be careful” and then the journalist took that and turned it into something like “half of us are going to die”.
At that point, I pretty much checked out of the whole Covid news cycle. I figured, if there was some information important enough, it’d find its way to me. And I stopped actively consuming it.
If anyone has a good mailing list or something to follow for just the most important Covid updates… otherwise, I’m just living my life… no mask, one vax and a booster.
Ngl, I got 2 shots and the 1st booster. It seems like now they are just trying to get every dime out of this and make it a seasonal booster. I had covid for the first time this year (that I know of at least… had a crazy respiratory thing in 2020 before there were tests n I was 90% sure I had it then too) It was mild AF. Pretty sure the OG vaxx provides far better immunity than they lead on, and just want annual revenue. I’m done. Unless younger people start getting affected by it and dying in droves, I don’t need anymore boosters. Frankly, I was hesitant to get the MRNA vaxx in the first place, since we don’t know if there are any long term complications, and after having it earlier in the year, I’m really not worried about it, or trying to get a booster every 6 months.
Seeing as only 14% of American adults have received the updated COVID vaccine, I’d say most are blowing it off.
I don’t have the over 200$ to hand to these pricks to get a prick for the wife n me. I’d like one, but fuck it i guess. Ride or die baby
They should be covered by your insurance. You can just go to any pharmacy at any supermarket to get it.
Even if you don’t have insurance, I think it’s covered.

Not everyone has insurance.
But that’s if you have insurance.
I don’t understand why vaccines should cost money anyway. It’s to the benefit of the nation that people are vaccinated ffs.

There’s an assumption you’ve made that is wrong, unfortunately.
Shot is free for uninsured
Oh really? I actually did not know that. Thanks, I’ll look into it today
Check out your local department of health.

They’re not trying anything; that’s what viruses do when they are not eradicated.
