Where can I get a Polio Vaccine and Booster Shot Without Insurance?
Polio vaccines and booster shots are available at large pharmaceutical companies (e.g., Walgreens and CVS MinuteClinic), urgent care centers, and your doctor’s office. Most people are not eligible for the one-lifetime booster dose of Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV). IPV is a four-dose vaccine, and 93 percent of the population is fully vaccinated by the time they are 2-years-old.
Where to Get the Polio Vaccine (IPV) and Booster Shot
You can get the polio vaccine at most urgent care facilities, pharmacies, and doctor’s offices. If you are eligible for a polio booster shot and need one for travel reasons, you can also get IPV at a travel medicine office. Your provider can also help you schedule multiple doses of the vaccine.
