Important Note: When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Content, offers and availability are subject to change - more info.
This isn’t a freebie you can order online but an important one given the COVID times we live in. Many of the largest stores are now offering COVID-19 Vaccines for free, and the post will help you navigate how to book an appointment for the vaccine, as well as providing valuable information on the vaccine by store and state.
A few things to keep in mind: for the time being, frontline workers and people over 65 take precedence in booking for the free vaccine. It’s also very important to know that even though all of these vaccines are free, you may be charged an administration free if you are not insured. That said, no one can be denied a vaccine for being unable to pay this fee.
