babysparkler Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 My in-laws said that it will be free when it is available... have any of you heard this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixglides Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Read in our newspaper today, vaccine itself will be free as government dollars paid for it BUT providers can charge a fee for administering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarthaT Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 probably cost about the same as the regular one i would think. Please read up on the dangers of the vaccine before you get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie in NJ Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 in our area, providers can charge up to $20.00 fee (the article said that the seasonal flu shot can have a fee of up to $35.00). Our insurance pays for our shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read up on the dangers of the vaccine before you get it Oh, we won't be getting it... but my in-laws are thinking about it because "it is free".

TravelingChris Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I saw a report from the WHO that in 39,000 doses of the vaccine in CHina, they had 4 reports of side effects. These side effects were a headache and I think body ache. IN the vaccine scientists views both at the WHO and here in the USA, this vaccine has less side effects than any other flu vaccine they have seen. I thought it was quite common to have an achy feeling or a mild headache after a flu shot. I would never report that to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
