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.

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.

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.

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).
