Flu Shots 2019/2020 Season ???

[Expat]

I got mine about a month ago at my doctor's office. I stopped first at the local Walgreen's and they said my insurance wouldn't pay for it. I called the insurance and they said that yes, they would pay for it, but they had to bill it properly in the system which apparently they didnt know how to do. Cigna volunteered to call the local Walgreens and walk them through it. I told them to not bother and I would just go to my doctor's office. Since the wife got sick, I get one every year.

Got mine at CVS. Cigna insurance covered it all. Regular price on the receipt was $39.

Arm hurt for three days, as usual.

I had mine about 10 days ago. I'm just now feeling the onset of the autism.

I haven't gotten one yet due to me being on sick from work where they are free. I've never had any issues with the any immunization but my wife...not so lucky. Ladt year she had a huge lump in the injection site. I guess all those years from the military injections didn't kill me so I'm good.

Kroger pharmacy. $0 cost after insurance. Minor bruise at injection site.

Work for a healthcare company for over 35 years and hated the shot so never got it . They offered it but never had to get it. Then when the ACA came into the picture and established Hospital Value-Based Purchasing. Then the company started doing this:
Coworkers who do not have proof of immunization on file by November 30^th will be suspended and unable to work and will have seven (7) days to get the immunization.　 Failure to get the immunization by the end of the suspension period will be terminated.

So forced to get something you don’t want or be unemployed.

Wow! Just Wow! And that is why we need to move health care away from 3rd parties and to a system where you get your own.

There are hundreds of flu variants of the major types of flu and many infections and illnesses caused by other viruses. A flu shot is the equivalent of placing a bet on a horse race based on the suggestion of a race betting publication. A flu shot only covers about three or four variants of the hundreds. It is the researchers best guess as to what is coming around...

I was given the high-dose shot at the VA Hospital.

Got it once. Felt like death for three days. Never taking one ever again.

Same for me
