Awesome. Here in northern Michigan an appt is weeks or longer away. We live in a very rural area and there are just very very few docs, period. I work in the field and have a scary, unpredictable schedule more often than not. The pharmacist at our Rite Aid is a good friend so it was fun to have him do ours.
Our insurance would have covered it but only if we went to at least a nurse practitioner or doc for it. They didn't cover it at Rite Aid.
In short it was easier to just pay and get it than to try to make two appts (husband), copay, day off work, etc.
The state does offer some free vaccs, like shingles, here. I keep meaning to check into that more and set it up.
Can't wait to retire and have more time. This is my first day off in a long time and I am spending it online with coffee so far, having fed all the dogs and wildlife too. Lazy day is almost guaranteed for me today. LOL
I’m having a hurry up and wait day. Flu threads always interest me. The only time I’ve been hospitalized with an illness was with complications from the flu. Had my shot that year, but got one of the strains they didn’t vaccinated for. That was the sickest I’ve ever been in my life. I get my flu vaxx annually, but I’m hoping that having had it may provide some additional, longer lasting immunity.
