How much does a flu shot cost and when should I get one?

The flu vaccine is available to eligible patients at no cost through most insurance plans, including Medicare Part B.

CVS Pharmacy® and MinuteClinic® can directly bill many national and regional health plans that cover all or part of the cost of a flu shot. Check with your health insurance provider to confirm coverage.

Flu shots are available to those with and without health insurance at our current cash prices.

While the flu shot is available at no cost through most insurance plans, it’s also available for the out-of-pocket prices listed below for patients paying without insurance or with a voucher or third-party discount card.

  • Senior dose flu shot: $144
  • Standard dose flu shot: $99
  • Flublok: $144

The timing of flu season is difficult to predict and can vary in different parts of the country and from year to year. Typically, flu season begins in the fall. Flu activity usually peaks between December and February and significant activity can continue into May. It’s important to get your annual flu vaccination in early fall because it’s best to be vaccinated before the flu begins spreading in your community.

It’s recommended to get vaccinated in early fall before flu season begins and by the end of October, if possible. It’s important to not wait until flu season is in full swing or when there is an outbreak in your area to get a flu shot since it takes about two weeks for your body to build up optimal protection after getting a flu shot.
