Flu vaccinations offered for three days this week

The Flathead City County Health Department continues H1N1 and seasonal influenza immunization clinics this week for people 6 months and older.

“This is a great opportunity for visiting college students and family to receive the vaccine,” said Jody White, Community Health Services director. 

She reminds parents that they need to bring in their age 9 and under children for their second doses of H1N1 if they received the vaccine at least 28 days ago.

The H1N1 influenza vaccine is free. 

Seasonal influenza vaccine costs $25 for adults 19 and over or $15 for those under 19. Medicare and Medicaid cards and credit cards are accepted for payment. No child is denied vaccine due to inability to pay.

n Monday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

n Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
