WHY GET THE FLU SHOT?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone aged 6 months and over receive the flu shot each year. Getting a flu shot this year is more important than ever because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Protect yourself against the flu.
IS IT SAFE TO GET A FLU SHOT DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC?
The safety of our patients and our staff is our top priority. All staff will be wearing masks, gloves, and eye protection. Patients and visitors are required to wear face coverings, complete a COVID-19 questionnaire, and a thermal temperature screen. We have implemented social distancing in our health centers.
HOW MUCH DOES THE FLU SHOT COST?
Flu shots are FREE for Medicare recipients, children enrolled in Medicaid, and are available at no cost with most private insurance*. If you are not insured or your plan doesn’t cover the flu shot, it’s available for a low cost.
WHAT FLU SHOTS ARE AVAILABLE?
We provide standard flu vaccine, FluMist, Flublok (which is not egg-based), and the high dose flu vaccine. The high dose flu vaccine is intended to give individuals 65 years and older a better immune response and better protection against the flu.
Our experienced nurses are available and can help you decide which flu shot is right for you.
