The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

Currently watchin’ “Live Free or Die Hard” on SYFY, starring Bruce Willis and Justin Long. Only bring it up because Megan and Daniel and some of their friends met Justin Long at a bar in downtown Austin several years ago. They chatted with him for quite a while and said he was a really nice guy.

And a special bonus the pharmacist told me my insurance is very good, my copay was $0. He advised some others insurances don't cover for shingles vaccine, and they must pay $300 for the 2 shots.

All of our shots (both shingles shots, pneumonia, both initial COVID doses, flu, and COVID booster) were all no charge, one way or another.

That's good. When I received those two, each one was close to $170 -- that was about 2 years ago, and I was under different insurance which did not cover it at all. I was stunned to hear the price, and I asked the CVS pharmacist at the time, if it was for both injections. She said no, it was for EACH one. Didn't have a clue it was so expensive, and I was caught off guard. Now, things may have changed in the past few years, and maybe it's a bit more affordable for more people now, (under various insurance plans). All other vaccines I've had, including covid, were either free or just a small copay only.

Also I was advised Medicare A&B does not cover the cost of shingles vaccine. With 1 in 3 over the age of 50 contacting shingles , perhaps one would think the vaccine would be covered by insurance or free.
