Expect to pay between $40 and $70 for a flu shot at Walgreens, depending on your insurance coverage and the type of vaccine. Many insurance plans cover the cost entirely, reducing or eliminating your out-of-pocket expense. Check your plan’s details to confirm coverage.
Factors Influencing Cost
Several factors influence the final price. High-dose vaccines for seniors (65 and older) often cost more than standard vaccines. If you don’t have insurance, the price will be higher. Walgreens offers various payment options including credit cards, debit cards, and health savings accounts (HSAs). You can also inquire about Walgreens’ patient assistance programs if needed.
Saving Money on Your Flu Shot
Before your visit, verify your insurance coverage. Many employers offer wellness programs that subsidize or cover the cost. Consider comparing prices from other pharmacies, though Walgreens frequently offers competitive pricing and convenient locations. Scheduling your shot in advance can help you secure an appointment during off-peak hours.
