So I checked it to be more precise.
I only found price mentioned in forum by Benu pharmacy employee from 2023, stating 123.50 EUR per dose. So 370.50 in this case.
For people aged 12 - 14, this is fully paid. 18 and up, fuck you.
15 - 17, depends on the insurance company.
| Insurance company | Covered amount | |
|
| | VsZP (state-owned) | Up to 31.45 EUR per dose | | Dovera (private) | Up to 257.16 EUR depending on insurance length - (per dose) 85.72 if > 10 years, 61.23 EUR if > 5 < 10 years, 36.73 if < 5 years | | Union (private) | 50% per dose |
But again, as an adult, no luck.
That absolutely sucks. Though thinking about it, the vaccine had only just come out when I was already an adult. It's possible I was "grandfathered in" because the opportunity wasn't there when I was younger.
Yet there are so many kids with anti-vaxxer parents, it doesn't seem right to deny the opportunity to young adults who finally have the chance to make their own health decisions. It's such bullshit how much power insurance companies wield, despite them knowing far less than a patient's own doctor knows. There's no reason an 18 year old should be assumed to automatically be exposed to HPV. A lot of people are still virgins then.
