A member of my household has a costco membership so we were gonna try and get me vaxxed using their member discount for the $140 price rather than the even more evil $202 price. So I called and confirmed with the Pharmacy that we could pull it off, we could not. I'm gonna have to buy my own membership, but first I wanted to confirm how much it would cost there.
Pharmacy tech: "Cash price is $39 and some change."
Me: "For the Novavax?"
Them: "Oh you're also getting Novavax. That was Flu. Let me check. It's probably the same though."
Me: "Oh, I don't think so."
A few seconds of keyboard clicks go by.
Them: "Nobody ever asks about the cash price. It's. Oh.... It's $201.99"
Yeah, that's what I freaking thought. 
The costco membership is $65, but it actually is cheaper for me to buy a membership because I can get a $20 giftcard back if I do it through the veteran's reward program. Guess I'm getting a costco membership.
This bleeping country. 
So weird. I went to CVS for novavax a month ago, they didn't charge me anything or even check insurance.
Weird. Did you use them before? You may have had something on file and slipped in before they stopped doing the bridge program or your state appropriated funds to temporarily continue it. I hear some of the lesser-hellhole states have done that.
I'm in one of the least hellhole states there are, that must be it. Both my wife and I didn't have to pay anything. We have never gotten vaccinated at cvs before.
That's probably it then. My state's Health Services website has a form for reporting if a business forces you to mask, test, or vaccinate.
that is weird. You sure they just didn't have your insurance on file from prescriptions or something?
