Tetanus shot at Kroger: 2026 cost, insurance, and how to schedule

Kroger pharmacy and The Little Clinic (in-store) both administer Tdap and Td. No Kroger-posted Tdap cash price could be confirmed; this site estimates $70 to $90. Kroger closed all 18 of its Georgia Little Clinic locations on 4 April 2026, so check that a clinic is still open before going.[6] Kroger banners include Fred Meyer, Smith's, Ralphs, King Soopers, and Fry's, all of which are part of Kroger Health. Coupon stacking with GoodRx and SingleCare is generally accepted at the counter.

Scheduling and walk-in

Kroger supports walk-in vaccinations at most pharmacies and online scheduling through the Kroger Health website. The Little Clinic offers a clinical-visit alternative when the patient also wants a brief clinical assessment.

Insurance accepted

Kroger bills most major insurers in-network and processes Medicare Part D claims at the counter. The most common outcome for insured adults: $0 copay for the routine Tdap booster.

Coupon stacking

Kroger typically accepts GoodRx and SingleCare coupons at the pharmacy counter. The chain typically chooses whichever produces the lowest out-of-pocket: in-network insurance ($0), the store’s own cash price, or the coupon. Coupons do not generally stack on top of insurance billing.[2]

Membership and access

Kroger does not require any membership for vaccinations. Walk-in patients can access pharmacy and clinic services on the same terms as any other customer.

What this pharmacy does well

What to consider before choosing

  • Cash list price is mid-to-high; coupon usually beats cash for uninsured patients

FAQ

Tetanus shot at Kroger: FAQ

How much is a tetanus shot at Kroger?

With most ACA-compliant insurance billed in-network, a Tdap booster at Kroger costs $0 at the counter. Without insurance, no Kroger Tdap cash price could be confirmed online (checked October 2026), so ask the pharmacy for its quote before the shot. For reference, the CDC Adult Vaccine Price List (1 October 2026 edition) puts the private-sector price of the vaccine itself at $50.14 for Boostrix and $51.08 for Adacel per dose; a pharmacy cash price adds its own margin and any administration fee on top.[5]

Does Kroger accept GoodRx for a tetanus shot?

Yes. Kroger typically accepts GoodRx and SingleCare coupons at the pharmacy counter. The GoodRx Boostrix coupon starts around $60.86, which can beat the store’s own cash price for uninsured patients. Coupons cover the vaccine, not any separate administration fee, and do not stack on top of insurance billing.

Do I need a membership to get a tetanus shot at Kroger?

No. Kroger / The Little Clinic does not require a membership for vaccinations. Walk-in patients get pharmacy and clinic services on the same terms as any other customer.

Does Kroger offer Td (Tenivac) as well as Tdap?

Td (Tenivac) is generally available at Kroger alongside Tdap where stocked. Td covers tetanus and diphtheria only; Tdap adds pertussis and is the usual adult booster. Tenivac’s CDC private-sector list price is $45.91 per dose (1 October 2026 edition).[5]
