I checked the other day and without insurance, a moderna covid booster costs three hundred dollars.
American healthcare never ceases to amaze
Meanwhile in Brazil I just need to walk in to my local public health hospital and ask for the vaccine and get it right there for free
I just go to my pharmacy in Canada and get it. Americans are crazy.
Lol for now...
Holy shit. I knew it was bad, but that doesn't even compute. I know any price is infinitely more than free, but that is way higher than I could have ever expected. Like, the cost of the shots to the government was pretty low(20-30$), who would have thought it was mostly bulk discount, lol.
It's bullshit.

You're either trying to push misinformation or just hilariously uninformed. No adult has to pay for a covid vaccination if you do even the slightest bit of research.

I'm happy to share the clinics in Southern California I called so you can ask them yourself. I was told boosters are not free if you're out of network, as I have insurance but they do not accept it.
Also, looks like the free initial vaccine program ends in 9 days, so your rude assertion is moot in a week and a half either way.
Man, I bet you thought you ackshaually'd me really good there didn't you?
