15. Tell them you have no insurance! Don't be ambigous. You have "none."

Since your insurance doesn't cover it, you effectively have none, right? (wink, wink)

I got free five booster shots at Publix. The last one was one month ago. Joe Biden paid for them all, and he will continue to do so until the end of 2024.

I don't know about the other relevant vaccines, RSV and flu. But the gov't will pay for COVID shots for the uninsured.

Around here (Delray Beach) you don't even need an appointment at Publix. Just go.
