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 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.
