If you are uninsured or underinsured, a COVID booster shot can cost hundreds of dollars. But in Santa Clara County, there's a program which offers residents free or discounted medical services to those who qualify.
New COVID-19 boosters are now available, but they come with a cost. Instead of free like in years past, if you're uninsured or underinsured they now may have a price tag worth hundreds of dollars.
Santa Clara County Health Officer Dr. Sara Cody says there may be vaccine fatigue, but staying protected is still important. Santa Clara County is recommending anyone over the age of 6 months old to get the shot when they can. The problem is for thousands in the South Bay and Bay Area wide: getting the vaccine may not be as easy as before.
