Flu shots are given for free here and they have a calendar by age. I have the same day that Dixie has but as we are in lockdown, she can only ask for a 2 hour permit so Claudia will take me.
It is a shame that even drugstores will try to scam. I bought my meds in a drugstore (a big chain) and now for some days they are offering me the flu vaccine at a certain price in an add here. Considering that it is given free by the government, I found it outrageous.
I wish I could have time to tell someone. But as nobody will fine them for doing that, I can only tell you as a rant
So next Wednesday I´ll have my shot. Claudia will tell me when she is finished with her work.

We got to our doctors office this way it’s 100% free and we tell them a he’a did time or head to my husbands free clinic day for flu shot. All employees and there families members they live with cna get there flu shots at the same time. We all got ours in September at the start of flu season.

@marguicha actually flu is all year around so there is no actually season per say. So actually any time of the year as long as it’s yearly a flu shot is good

@marguicha I have heard of many Covid scams in many countries. Those big companies are disgusting.

YEs That is crazy to charge a certain price for it when you can get it free.

Is it free if you have insurance? Or are you talking about the COVID shots? Maybe people without insurance must pay for them.

In our place, cases like the one you are experiencing are also common

Everyone's just trying to make money now a days. It's kind of sad, really. Hell, no one in America even wants the flu shot. It's so bad, that insurance companies and even pharmeicies try to bribe people to take it.

That's great that your government is fast in terms of implementation... Here, I know there are priorities which I understand and will certainly take lots of time before it will reach us...

Vaccines are something that has been done well in our country for many years. But in the covid situation it is not enough.
