Pet shots and meds are very expensive, especially when you have to cut back due to job loss, etc.
I was surprised to discover that my local Rural King sold vaccines and pet meds, that you could administer, for a tiny fraction of the cost at a vets! If you do not have a local Rural King, then see if you have any farm suppliers or co-ops that offer the same animal supplies.
In addition, I understand that some veterinarians offer low income pet shots and certain treatments. Check with your local shelter as they probably know of just such a vet.
Let's keep our 'kids' healthy and happy, even in a bad economy. :)

I order all my shots from the company that makes them. I find by ordering the vaccines myself I am saving about $30.00 per pet.
