Today I got the Flu Vaccine.But I have to pay $90 for a Pneumonia Vaccine if I want one.Do you think the Pheumonia Vaccine is necessary?I called my Insurance Company and they confirmed the $90.

I'm in the states. Took pneumonia vaccine and paid for it as I am not 65. Lasts ten years. Paid two hundred for shingles shot on credit card. Don't want to complicate what I have already

Since I looked into it and seen you are covered for a few years,I think I will go ahead and get the Pnemonia Vaccine.I work with children and don't want to risk being severly ill.

It is very important if you are 50+ years old..I don't know why they are charging you $90 since it is a preventive care😔

You are correct I paid copay. Shingles shot had to be 65
