8. If you have insurance, your insurance provider should know for sure.

Or ask the pharmacy how it’s billed and if they have special programs for under-insured.

I originally got one on the 60s and then I had one back in the 90s when there was an outbreak. I was attending college and I was told I had to get one to attend, so I did. But I don’t remember it being a two shot like I read it should have been, so was unsure whether I needed another.

I asked my doctor If I should get an additional one and she said it couldn’t hurt. Pharmacy said the same, and that’s what I was reading from reputable sources online, so I got one. I got it at the pharmacy and it was free under my insurance.

Necessary? Maybe not, but I feel better having gotten it. In any case, I should be well covered now!
