Places administering the vaccinations may not charge US, but they are being paid a set fee by the government for each injection. Similarly, Medicare pays for flu vaccinations for those who have Medicare, right? But we the people pay for Medicare. Thus, we are all paying for the development of the vaccine and for its administration. If it turns out that we need to be vaccinated every year or get a booster, the drug companies will be charging much more, pharmacies and doctors’ offices will be charging, and insurance companies will be billed. This isn’t being done out of the goodness of people’s hearts. It makes money for all the companies and businesses involved.

Back in 70’s there was a strain of flu that was deadly and the developed a vaccine for it and wanted to give everyone a vaccination for it. Where I lived local schools, fire stations and some public buildings were all opened and you went and got in line and they administered these shoots. There were multiple lines wherever you went and there were several people using some type of injection gun administering the shots. The lines moved rapidly and you were in and out in no time. There was no cost for the shot and never any discussion of money. Unfortunately today everything is about money and influence. Vaccinating people at Publix, CVS, Winn Dixie, Walgreens etc. is all about money. How many people go to these stores get a shot, which is free then go in and buy something while their there. These shots should be administered at mass vaccination sites, and no profit making scheme should be associated with it. I saw my doctor last week and he told me if they gave him a thousand doses, he would come in over a weekend and vaccinate everyone of his patients. No charge, no money involved. That reminds me of a time gone by where people did the right things for the right reasons.

There would have been less wasted hours and traveling if there was a different system for who was eligible. 1st open vaccines up for over 85 people - then over 75 people - then over 65 people. By making the group anyone over 65, it was too many for the small number of doses delivered so far to Florida. It has caused confusion and hysteria!

Are Undocumented Workers eligible for the vaccine? Are they afraid to get the vaccine?

Hello-
On a linky via xxxxx under one of the financial sites that shorted stocks like $GME, I read that Amazon """""MAY"""" be in early talks with the authorities that if granted permission and access to the certain COVID19 vaccine that doesn't require a sub-zero freezer, Amazon may come-up with the model where a customer may order, have delivered and have an Amazon paid medical technician inject an adult with the vaccine for a small administrative fee / profit fee right at their residence. This service would be directed primarily to those who cannot or unwilling to leave their home or those willing to pay an extra fee for the convenience.

Naturally this is just a rumor, but can you just imagine if a great company, such as Amazon gets involved on how quickly they can disburse the vaccine, especially when a financial incentive is involved.

mowing your grass, painting your home etc etc etc has say tuberculosis, covid 19 etc.
If, we choose to deny him medical care he is a disease spreader. There are diseases spread by insect bites, rat bites etc. They do not choose to only bite people that are in the US legally.

I have been saying this for months...just get it to me and I will handle how its administration. People do their own insulin, botox for migraines... there are many that know how to inject. This could be handled so easily.
