RSV vaccines, who pays?

Spouse's insurance is more expensive and more generous. It paid the full $299.77

Mine paid $14.48 and the rest - $280.53 were paid by "Inflation Reduction Act."

How many voters, seniors, especially, realize this?

My wife’s insurance covered it at the Riteaid. But my insurance wants me to pay for it and file a claim for reimbursement. We are still working but our individual health insurance plans are quite different.

but you have to get it at a pharmacy because doctors get reimbursement only for Part B drugs, and the RSV vaccine isn't one of them. No, I don't understand it either.
