In recent years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a number of warnings about the dangers of the flu, particularly for those 65 years and older. As a result, many people are now opting to get a flu shot, either at their doctor’s office, or at retail locations like CVS. However, is a flu shot really free at CVS?
The short answer is no, flu shots are not always free. In fact, they can cost as much as $25. However, if you are eligible for free or reduced-cost health insurance, or if you are a government employee, you may be able to get a flu shot for free.
Additionally, many CVS pharmacies offer flu shots for free to customers who meet certain eligibility requirements, such as being a Medicare or Medicaid patient. So, if you are looking to get a flu shot, it is worth checking with your local CVS pharmacy to see if they offer them for free.
