What is the cost?
Cost will not be a barrier to vaccines offered in DHEC clinics. Ask how we can help.
Children 6 months to 18 years can get flu shots at low or no cost, depending on eligibility.
Adults 19 years of age or older:
- Low cost vaccine is available for adults who don’t have health insurance or have insurance that doesn't cover vaccines.
- Adults with health insurance:
- The cost of the flu shot depends on the type of vaccine given and your insurance. High-Dose flu shots are available for adults 65 years and older.
- DHEC can bill certain Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, SC Medicaid and Medicare Part B.
- For many insurance plans, including the State Health Plan, DHEC is out of network. You will be responsible for the cost of the flu vaccine and administration of the shot.
