I wish there were more low-cost options and payment plans too. The county clinics here and Planned Parenthood do accept credit cards, so that's one "payment plan" option.

Unfortunately, a lot of states are cutting their health budgets, which of course affect the poor and economically challenged first. Alaska is actually cutting their vaccination budget right now.

It's a sad state of affairs when we have the knowledge and ability to prevent more serious or long-term complications but we collectively decide to save money in the short term instead.
