How can I schedule Free Covid-19 Vaccine at CVS, Kroger & Walgreens?
How do I get a coronavirus vaccine from drug stores? How much does the Covid-19 vaccine cost? When will I be eligible for the vaccine?
Lots of questions swirling around as states continue to administer vaccines nationwide. While every state has their own rollout plans (see below), we can help reduce some confusion as it relates to your favorite drugstore.
Keep in mind, though, at this point, frontline workers and people over 65 are first in line. All of these vaccines are free, although if you’re uninsured, you may be charged an “administration fee” at these places (although no one can be denied a vaccine if they are unable to pay this fee).
