Influenza (flu) is a potentially serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. Influenza vaccines, or flu shots, protect against the influenza viruses that are likely to cause disease in the upcoming flu season. Monroe County Health Department is holding community flu vaccine clinics this October and November to make getting your flu shot easy and convenient for you and your family!
CDC recommends everyone ages six months and older should get a flu vaccine each year to prevent sickness from the flu. It takes about two weeks for the flu vaccine to protect against the virus, so make a plan today to get yourself and your family vaccinated.
Monroe County Health Department is offering quadrivalent vaccine for those less than 65 years of age, as well as high dose vaccine for those 65 years of age and older. We can bill Medicare, Medical Assistance, Senior Preferred, and third party insurance companies to cover the $30 charge for regular vaccine and $65 for high dose vaccine. To pre-register or to schedule individual appointments, please contact us at 608-269-8666 or visit bit.ly/24flu.
