Mumpy Puffinz posted:Is it gonna be a free thing, or do I have to rely on private insurance to get it? The free COVID vaccines mandate ended but at many pharmacies they're still free until the remaining money from the mandate dries up. After that they're around $190 a pop but insurance will probably cover it if you have insurance. E: this is in the US obviously

The very few copays we've seen have been around $50 for Pfizer, but those were edge cases. Out-of-pocket, this year's flu shot has been around $100, but again, pretty much all insurances cover it. Some are picky and want you to go to specific places, or at your doctor's office, but you should be ok going pretty much wherever. Seth Pecksniff posted:I'll get both at the same time and you cannot stop me op Most of our customers have! One in each arm, so it's easier to tell which gives you side-effects (if any). Or go for the hat trick and get a shingrix or RSV shot too!

Yeah, why would you get a shot from your actual doctor instead of some rando at the local walgreens.

The shots are only $200? Does the Pfizer Board know about this? Vaccines are an inelastic good and we could easily sell them for quadruple that!

It is very possible to get it, not show any symptoms, and spread it around. This is another reason to stay up to date on your shots.

At least in my city the people giving the vaccines at pharmacies are contracted RNs picking up some extra low-stress income. There's one lady who everyone calls Judy the Queen who just travels around giving vaccines at all the different pharmacies and she's so practiced you don't even feel the needle.

Everyone is supposed to get this one they dropped the waiting period between your last booster and this one (or reduced it to 3 months, I forget) because this isn't a booster it's an updated full vaccine against the new strains that are spreading

I loving love getting vaccines because it gives you an excuse to lay around being unproductive for a few days and no one can give you poo poo for it you can just tell them you're feeling dizzy or something The new covid vaccine did give me vertigo for a few days, though
