hey get your flu shot if youre able to. last year 80,000 people in the us died from the flu and its complications and thats literally the highest its been in four decades. just because u “never get the flu” doesn’t mean that you aren’t putting others at risk. dont be silly. get ur flu shot. practically every insurance plan pays for it at 100%, and its usually under $40 out of pocket. blease

just wanted to say, as a former pharmacy tech, you can be a carrier of
the flu virus without showing symptoms, so as said above, just because you never get the flu, doesnt mean youre not being an ass for not getting the flu vaccine. For fucks sake, you can even get it FREE(even without insurance) a lot of the time not even needing to deal with insurance. now you may be asking why there are people giving it out for free, and barring the obvious of some people cant afford to pay for it, its because there are assholes that wont go and get it because they A) dont think they need it. B) dont want to pay for it. C) both of the above! if you guessed C youre right! being safe because of “herd immunity” doesnt mean you dont need to get it because everyone else is getting it. it means get off your ass and go get it. 

Now that the rant is out of the way, if you’re looking to try and get it for free here are some tips:

if youre a student on a college campus(and some highschools), contact your health/wellness center and ask if they are giving out the flu vaccine, if not they can probably direct you to somewhere that is.

This flu season Target/cvs pharmacies were offering the shot for free(im not sure if this is still the case, but its easy enough to call around and find out)

A lot of the free clinics offer a free flu shot while they have the supply to do so.

Many employers require a flu shot and generally will reimburse you for the cost.

This is only handful of ways to get your shot. there are plenty of other options.

Just. Go. Get. Your. Damn. Flu. Shots. People.

addition to the above! last time i heard CVS/target was giving ppl $5 gift cards for getting their flu shots. unless you are allergic to the flu vaccine there is literally no excuse to not get this shot. please protect the ppl around you
