Health Department
special flu immunization clinics
this year have been completed. Flu shots are still available at our regular
immunization sites.
We do not anticipate a
flu vaccine shortage this year, and will be offering flu vaccine to all
who wish to have one. We will only bill Medicaid, Medicare and Group Health
Medicare program recipients ...for all
others, the fee for the flu
shots this year will be $30.00.
For persons with Medicare
Part B or Medicaid Medical Coupons, it is imperative
that we see your card or medical coupons at the time of service. Please be sure to bring
your card or medical coupon with you to the clinic.
For those interested in the Pneumococcal Pneumonia
Vaccine: This immunization is
administered only at our regular immunization clinics, and
will be available for $55.00. Pneumonia shots are covered by Medicare/ Medicaid. The Center
of Disease Control recommends this vaccine once in a lifetime, and it is recommended for
people age 65 and older. Those who are younger than 65 and have a chronic illness or who are more likely to get pneumonia should consult with their
physician.
