These clinics are for adults 18 years of age and older. Children’s clinics will be scheduled as soon as vaccine becomes available.

Flu and pneumonia shots will be given at no-charge to those who have Medicare Part-B coverage. Bring your Medicare card.

Those not covered by Medicare Part B may obtain the annual flu vaccination for $25 and the one-time only pneumonia shot for $40.

Vaccinations can also be given in the car at the clinic site or at home if patrons cannot navigate clinic sites.
