Because I am AMAB and had a M on my healthcare at the time the HPV vaccine cost me money. I was one of the first if not the first person with the M on my health card in Canada who was not in the study run by health Canada. It cost me something north of $100, I wish it would have just been in the schedule of vaccines given out but since then every few years I make sure that I am up to date on my vaccines. I have gotten the flu shot every year for the past 15 or so years because I do not want to be the reason someone else gets sick, I wish everyone could think like that.

Yeah I asked to get that vaccine too after I realized an ex girlfriend was cheating. Had to pay out of pocket as well because I'm male. So dumb

And now in Québec they make you pay for the COVID vaccine. It's 150$. It's insane. Flu shot is free though? Like, what's the reasoning?

Covid still free in B.C., for now...

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Free in Québec if you have any special health conditions that could worsen due to COVID. Like respiratory/pulminary problems.

But COVID has so many other side effects and long-term problems, it should be free for everyone.
