It just really upset me having to now go and spend a co-pay which may sound petty, but I need to save all I can. I’m not angry with the pharmacy, just RFK and his stupidity. I appreciate you.✌🏻

You might be able to get the rx from Telehealth so it’s cheaper. We should also agitate and state and local level for a blanked rx to be issued so people don’t have to do this, or for states to distribute directly

It’s just a shame that people will have to take this extra step for no reason whatsoever. This administration apparently wants to cause as much human misery and destruction as possible. I can’t wait until they’re gone one way or another so science and common sense can once again be welcomed home…

Try calling your doctor first and ask if they will just send through a prescription without a visit. It's worth a try.

I am going to try this. However, about every 3 months they force me to come in to “go over” and renew my prescriptions anyway. They’ll get their money one way or another… that’s for certain… I appreciate you.✌🏻

I'm in GA and saw my PCP yesterday for my annual physical. She said she'd be happy to give me a scrip for the booster if the pharmacy requires it--just request it via the practice's portal.

Thanks for the heads up. Surely they won’t have a problem writing it.

If you are under 65 you will probably have to pay for it. Was around $68 but now there is a trump surcharge I am sure

It's $150-200 without insurance and I expect to have to pay after a massive battle to get it at all. I'm just around too many high risk people to risk it even if I might not need it as much for myself. But...they're trying to make my risk assessments for me. Again.

I’ve been fortunate in not getting it though my mother almost passed away from it. That makes me feel guilty for even wanting to get one knowing you would have to pay that much.🙂‍↕️

No. GET the vaxx if you can and turn your guilt and anger towards RFK Jr. and his child-killing cronies.

Absolutely. I’m not around small kids. I’m certain that made a difference.

I sincerely hope you’re able to get one and certainly a lot cheaper than that. That’s insanely absurd.

The cost to me of getting sick is higher than that, but I'm also in the privileged person of having money I can use for it, albeit also in the less than privileged position of not getting paid if I don't work.
