Where can I get a Vaccination and How Much is it? What about wearing a mask?
You can get a vaccine at certain hospitals and pharmacies and through local health departments throughout the state.
Vaccines are also available at some Meijer and Kroger grocery stores and Walmart locations. Indiana health officials are maintaining an online list of vaccine providers.
The federal government is covering the cost of the vaccine itself.
However, the CDC says vaccine providers may still charge a fee for giving someone a shot in some states. Indiana’s health department says administrative fees can be reimbursed through private or public insurance plans.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services also has said the vaccine will be administered free with no copays to Medicare beneficiaries.
Experts still need to learn more about the protection the vaccines provide under “real-life conditions,” the CDC says. It could take your body a few weeks to build up immunity after the second dose of a vaccine.
The vaccine is one tool that can help slow the spread of the coronavirus. The CDC says it could take months for the population to build up immunity, and it continues to recommend preventive measures such as face masks and social distancing.
