Do you have to pay for the vaccine in the US? I suppose the 1% will be first in line? Money counts after all. I bet the Trump family has already had it regardless of what is being said in the media.

I don't know. There are going to be a lot of places giving shots by spring. I think its free on Medicare like flushots. The Pfizer one, refrigeration and all, will cost 40 dollars to whoever pays it.

The AstraZebeca, if it ever comes out, will be 8 dollars.

if people think they can get it faster at their clinic, they will get it for the 40 dollars.

My clinic never had any shingles vaccine, I had to go Walgreens. Medicare with supplement paid some 20 dollars, I paid 300.

It will be free to all in Australia, but it won't start till next March. Plenty of time for us to see whether the various vaccines administered in other countries turn people into zombies or not... :tea:

Fuck! My flu shot was free. Shingles shot, free. And as far as I know, the covid shot, regardless of the brand, will be free. Could you move to a civilized country?

Dr Gupta on TV says the vaccine is free. If clinics want to charge for it, they have no way of billing.

Paying and billing is a complicated process here. A staff member at a doctor's office here is working full time on it. Because of insurance.

Surely if there is no insurance involvement cash will do?

My guess is that if regular doctor offices are involved, they will vaccinate the patients on file at that clinic, no new patients. No paperwork. Paperwork costs. There will also be hospitals doing mass inoculations. Maybe also some walk in clinics, they will charge some flat fee for the time and the nurse doing the injections.
