My Dr. still is charging $330 for the vaccine, and $22 for giving the shot. MOST of it will be covered by my Part D perscription drug plan, but I have to pay up front, and then be reimbursed by the Part D, so all in all it will cost $37. Unfortunately, I'm on a waiting list at the Dr. office for the vaccine to come in, it's on "backorder", which I feel probably means, they do not keep it in stock, and order as needed.
Sharon, you don't look anywhere close to old enough to be on Medicare.

During our annual checkups this past July my doctor recommended the shingles shot. I figured he was just drumming up business so did not inquire to cost or insurance coverage. Now you all have me wondering whether I should reconsider.
