US-ians Without Health Insurance Would Normally Be Able To Get Free Covid Shot Access Through The End

US-ians without health insurance would normally be able to get free covid shot access through the end of the year, but it was cut at the end of august to prevent a government shutdown.

If you, like me, are uninsured in the united states and want the new covid vaccine sooner than later, first please look into local resources/ nearby vaccine clinics/community health departments because they can offer low-cost or no cost vaccinations (albeit it may be a few weeks until they have covid shots on hand. they should have flu shots right now).

If you can’t wait, are high risk or living with someone high risk, and say “ok fine I will just pay” you can schedule a covid vaccine online at most pharmacies, but they are typically charging in the ~$190 to ~$200 range. Goodrx coupons exist (and I think so do other medicine coupon services), but searching for the correct current vaccines is unintuitive just searching “covid vaccine” will only retrieve coupons for earlier discontinued formulas. Instead, you need to search for “Comirnaty” (Pfizer’s current covid vaccine), “Spikevax” (Moderna’s current covid vaccine), or “Novavax” (for, of course, Novavax’s covid vaccine).
