The cheapest places to get a flu shot when you don't have insurance


If you haven't had a flu shot yet, doctors recommend that you get it this month. The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine for everyone six months and older. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, doctors say protecting yourself from the flu is even more important. But vaccinating everyone in your family if you don't have insurance can be expensive.

We check the price of the flu vaccine at more than 10 pharmacies and medical clinics to find the least expensive options for you. Remember, if you have insurance, the flu shot is free. The Affordable Care Act requires an insurance provider to cover the cost.

The City of Houston Health Department offers flu vaccines on a sliding scale as needed. It's free up to $ 15 at one of Houston's three health centers. You can call 832-393-5427 for more information and to make an appointment.

For a limited time, UT doctors offer flu shots for $ 19. Call to make your appointment. Below is a list of participating sites:
