How Much Does A Flu Shot Cost?

Medicare and most insurance plans cover the flu vaccine and other immunizations at no charge.

Who Can Get The Flu Vaccine?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends individuals 6 months of age and older get a flu vaccine each year to prevent getting and spreading the flu virus.

Currently, flu vaccines are available without a prescription during regular pharmacy hours to patients 6 months and older at Hy-Vee’s in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota locations; or 3 years and older in Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin locations, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ PREP Act.

Patients 12 years and older may also receive their COVID-19 vaccine or booster at the time of their flu shot at their local Hy-Vee Pharmacy. Patients seeking both the flu and COVID-19 immunization should notify their Hy-Vee pharmacist upon arrival.
