Seasonal flu shots are offered at no cost to Medicare beneficiaries (Part B), members of Senior Care Plus or Hometown Health fully insured HMO and PPO plans. All other persons can receive the seasonal flu shots for $28 and the Pneumonia Shots for $50.

“The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends a flu vaccine as the first and most important thing people can do to protect against the flu,” said Lori Mitchell, wellness resources manager at Renown Health. “Additional preventive actions like washing your hands and covering your cough will help stop the spread of germs.”

Pediatric flu shots are available by appointment only for children ages 6 months to 8 years old. Call 982-4148 to schedule these appointments.
