So are insurance companies not having to pay for them anymore or are the drug stores just not doing them for free? Are the drug companies just not making them? Sorry for all the questions. I’m confused about what RFK JR. has done. They cost about $200. if you don’t have insurance.

I was repeating what a doctor said on msnbc earlier today about availability. I'm not aware that the drug stores were ever providing them free - someone pays - you need insurance, no? The first ones were paid by the federal govt & anyone got them. 1/

That was part of the report I heard - you don't need to if you go thru yr doctor.

Okay- yeah you could get them or sometimes flu shots for free at Walgreens or CVS around here. Maybe the government was paying for them. I guess my insurance would pay for it at my doctor’s office. Sorry - sometimes it takes me a minute with stuff. 😁💙

I doubt the drug companies will stop making it - they make them for every other country. Plus, they're making it for 65+ etc. Going to depend on what deals the ins cos make with mfg/distributors. I heard you can get yr doc to give you a script, then usually insur kicks in. & Check GoodRX. 2/
