Question for healthcare professionals

[Ohiogal]

I won’t have health insurance until January of next year and today the pharmacy I always patronize told me that without insurance, a flu shot will cost me $55.

Is there such a thing or place that offers low cost flu shots?

1. Maybe a public Health Office

Hope so

11. I will try

2. try google for "free flu shots" + your city or county

there were a lot of hits when I did it for Ohio

this looks like a good article and has a locator function for free or cheap https://20somethingfinance.com/where-to-get-cheap-or-free-flu-shots/

8. No CVS or Walgreens?

Is that a Kroger store?

[Ohiogal]

9. Yes to CVS and Walgreens

No to Kroger. The store I am talking about is Giant Eagle.

7. As above, try your local Department of Health, or Google "free flu shots in your area."

Most municipal organizations that offer free vaccinations do so because they know the cost of immunizing is much, much lower than containing an influenza epidemic would be.
