    How does one get the new version of the vaccine without insurance? I’m currently unemployed and it’s been more than a year since my last shot. I want to get the vaccine but I can’t pay thousands…

      Why would it cost thousands? I thought the cost of the vaccine per shot is either in the tens or low hundreds.

        I’m probably exaggerating but without insurance, I have to call up each place and each place has a different price. Thats at least hoe it worked with the tests recently. Some were over 100 just for the tests…f’ed up honestly.

          Rat tests are about 5 to 10 bucks around here. They are not as accurate, but does it change the treatment if you have flu or covidy? Bed rest, fluids, painkillers, avoid people.
