I just got my booster at Walgreens, even though the pharmacy tried to tell me that ~unfortunately~ my (state provided) insurance doesn't cover Covid boosters anymore

So I said according to https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/bridge/index.html I should be able to get it free of change no matter what, & https://www.vaccines.gov/ lists this Walgreens location as a provider, so how can we fix this? They said they needed to "check some things", & then I magically got it for free instead of $155.99

@Louisa My insurance said that because Nevada DHS was refusing to allow providers to pay for C19 boosters that I would have to wait.

Yeah, no. CVS told me the booster was ~$170 when I went in to get both, and I don't have that kind of money. Luckily it was only a couple days before I was able to get the shot, but I could've gotten my flu and C19 shot together had NDHS gotten their crap together sooner. Still mildly annoyed about that.
