COVID19 vaccines will be free in the US right???
- superkuh 6y agoYes. But you still have to spend time to get vaccinated. The headline is not really correct. They'll compensate them for time away from working if they spend it getting vaccinated. >frontline hourly team members with a one-time payment equivalent of four (4) hours of regular pay after receiving a completed COVID-19 vaccination and salaried team members with additional store labor hours to accommodate their time away from the store.
- Scoundreller 6y agoDunno what they'll cost in the US, but the EU price list was leaked and it's not astronomical. 2 EUR - 18 EUR/dose. Administration costs will be higher than that. https://globalnews.ca/news/7532121/coronavirus-vaccine-price-list-leaked/ https://globalnews.ca/news/7532121/coronavirus-vaccine-price... We have at least 2 interchangeable vaccines on the market right now, and likely more on the way. Competition should keep costs down like a generic drug.

However, vaccination providers will be able to charge an administration fee for giving the shot to someone. Vaccine providers can get this fee reimbursed by the patient’s public or private insurance company or, for uninsured patients, by the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Provider Relief Fund.
- HeavenFox 6y agoLooks like there’s an administration fee which your insurance pays if you have one and government pays if you don’t, so yeah basically free.
