National Influenza Vaccination Week

National Influenza Vaccination Week (December 4-10).

In the United States, millions of people are infected with the influenza virus each year. The Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone, 6 months of age and older, receive the flu vaccine as it is the best way to protect yourself against influenza.

Super Shot currently has the flu vaccine available for children 6 months to 18 years that are uninsured, underinsured, or who are eligible for Medicaid. The cost is $10 per shot and Super Shot will bill Medicaid if the child is eligible. Additionally, we now have flu vaccine available for adults 19 and older who are uninsured or underinsured. The cost is $10 per shot for adults as well. No one will be turned away for the inability to pay.

For more information on this or any of our other programs, please call (260) 424-SHOT (7468) or visit our website, www.supershot.org.
