Flu Shots - October 20th from 4:30 to 5:30

Flu shots will be available in the office on Thursday, October 20th from 4:30 to 5:30.  All employees and dependents ages 14 and older who are covered by our BCBS insurance plan can receive the flu shot at no cost.  Non-covered depedents can receive the shot at the cost of $27.

The best way to protect against influenza is to get a flu vaccine every flu season. Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory disease that can lead to serious complications, hospitalization, or even death. Anyone can get the flu, and getting a flu vaccine is the single best way to protect yourself and your family. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to friends and loved ones. 

If you are concerned about the safety of the flu shot, please review the Misconceptions About the Flu Shot from the Centers for Disease Control website.
