or at a network pharmacy.

9
00:00:21,915 --> 00:00:23,725

When seeking a vaccine from a TRICARE-authorized provider,

12
00:00:30,785 --> 00:00:32,045
the vaccine is free,

13
00:00:32,115 --> 00:00:34,085
however you may have to pay copayments

14
00:00:34,085 --> 00:00:36,045
or cost-shares for the office visit

15
00:00:36,265 --> 00:00:38,885
or other services received during the visit.

16
00:00:39,435 --> 00:00:41,965

25

make sure the pharmacy has the vaccine you need,

26
00:01:06,865 --> 00:01:09,285
and make sure a pharmacist will be giving the vaccine

27
00:01:09,625 --> 00:01:10,645
and not a provider.

28
00:01:10,915 --> 00:01:13,405
