1. You should just start getting them at a pharmacy then, they're usually more like $20. 2. This is why flu vaccine is not inexpensive: First, the CDC and WHO need to identify possible strains of flu that will be prevalent during the next flu season. Then flu vaccine has to be created by incubation (in an egg I believe), then killed, then transferred to a sterile container in suspension, this must be done for each strain of flu you are vaccinated against. The container must be transferred within certain temperature and time boundaries. This container must then be moved into a sterile syringe, which is inserted under your skin, preferably by someone who knows what they're doing. The only reason that the vaccine is so inexpensive is that the CDC and WHO receive outside funding, and the process takes place on a massive scale.
