I'm trying to run through the scenarios in which a flu shot can be free in one place and not the other. Would state funding even cover it? Either way, sorry to hear that. Just another iniquity in the healthcare system. :/
Yeh I had to pay at a pharmacy too. I'm in deep red in the midwest.
I work at [redacted place] that was "giving them out this year", but since they pay me to work 73% time (just under full time I don't get benefits) when I went to the flu shot event they literally turned me away because they didn't know how to bill my insurance easily.
No. There's no such thing a a free vaccine in America, immediately sus.
Flu shots are free?
Where? $25 bucks at the pharmacy for me, and i work in healthcare.
Walgreens, at least where I live (upstate/central NY) . No insurance or anything. As I type this the gravity of my privilege is sinking in.
Hell, good to know. If you got it, use it.
CVS/Walgreens charge down here. I'm in the deep south but if im ever in NY ill keep that in mind.

Free at Walgreens and Publix here in central FL, too. As well as various clinics.
You can get them free where I live too, if you're paying attention to where and when they're giving them out.
It’s covered by my insurance and my workplace also gives out vouchers so people who aren’t enrolled in our plan can get it for free.
They also would have flu shots available at the office that you could sign up for, but not this year because COVID.
