cdc.gov has price lists for the vaccine. Apparently individual doses are around $1 each. You still need someone to administer it, but Target may be providing

  Yes, the challenge is not the physical products. It's the labor of getting it to people and administering it. (I still haven't gotten my free flu shot at CVS because there is always a long line there.)

    Free healthcare, long lines? Say it ain't so.

      It's not "free because it's CVS." If I had no insurance, CVS would still charge me, because they have legitimate labor costs that need to be covered. I was just making a personal statement. Because it is free for me, there's no financial reason for me to avoid it. But waiting in a line is a hassle, and I have no reason to believe that everyone in line is there for a flu shot. Good on Page for offering it in multiple places like Target stores. I hope they stick around for a while so people can choose to go when the lines are short.

      As a counter to that view, my daughter needed an eye operation 3 weeks ago, squint correction, 2 muscles on each eye. Saw the specialist, operation 8 days later. If I'd had a choice of date it would have been further away. New Zealand, tax payer funded (so not free as such), socialised cost. Successful operation. Edit: auto correct issues
