AntiFlu Injection Cost

ephelan24

Had an antiflu injection and it cost me 50 Euro. Same injection in Spain carried out by Pharmacist is 8 Euro. Medical costs in this country are sky high and the recession has had no impact.

Did you get your injection done by a Doctor or a pharmacist?

Dont get the injection..

Had mine done by Doctor due to continous ill health last year.

You could have got it done here for €25.00

Thanks for that jeckle. Should probably move post to Bargain Alert as it will save me money in the future.

A healthy adult does not NEED the normal flu jab, so you would have wasted your money were it 8 euro or 50.

Also, I do not believe it costs 8 euro per shot in Spain, unless that cost is massively subsidised by their health service.

Had an anti flu injection done in Spanish Pharmacy and it cost 8 Euro. Agree not everybody needs it but a lot do. Finally, why do you think it is subsidised?
Manufactured in the millions of doses of antiflu and as poster here has already pointed out can be got for 25 Euro here and not 50 Euro which I paid. Rip Off if ever there was one!!

It's available for £12.50 from Boots in London.

If your a student u can get it for free from your college medical centre.

50e is still a ok price for it, in fairness alot of people spend more then that trying to kill themselfs with drink each weekend

I know a few spanish people who are always complaining about the medical costs here,according to them medical costs are a fraction in spain compared to here.
