My husband (58 in 3 months) got his a couple of weeks ago at Costco for $174 total.

In TX you don't need a prescription to have a flu or shingles shot.

Thanks for the information.

I get my meds at CVS/Caremark. I was able to get a flu shot at my CVS, but I had to go to Walgreen's to get a Shingles shot.
