Paying out of pocket for the COVID booster at CVS currently costs $190. It is ridiculous how prohibitively expensive getting vaccinated is at the moment, and it’s these financial barriers that can lead to worse waves of COVID infections. #Medsky#FMsky

People should always google search first. The HHS site does have some links that may help track down low-cost or no-cost covid vaccines near you. In Maryland, I think they are free. Just have to find a program near you. CVS may not be free for everyone anymore.

I wonder why it isn't covered... For public health reasons?

I'm confused. Where I live the COVID booster and the flu shot are free at the Safeway pharmacy. Is that decided on a state by state basis because my state is DEEP RED.

$220 at the CVS near my house and they don't accept my insurance

That's outrageous. And makes no sense whatsoever from a public health perspective.

I just got a Covid and flu vaccine today at CVS. They had a sign that says “Free Covid Vaccine”. I thought that was for everyone. Mine is covered by insurance so it wasn’t an issue. They should be free for everyone.
