Carle community flu clinics begin September 17th and will run through January 3, 2015 this year at various locations in east central Illinois.
For those looking for an even more convenient way to get their flu shots, Carle is once again offering a drive-thru at the Vineyard Christian Fellowship Church September 17 - 20. This option will not require the person being vaccinated to even get out of the car; however, anyone receiving the vaccine for the first time is recommended to be vaccinated inside the building.
No appointment is necessary at the community flu clinics. Carle Physician Group patients may choose direct billing and must bring their clinic number and insurance card to do so. Medicare patients must bring their Medicare cards for direct billing. Non-Medicare or non-Carle Physician Group patients should be prepared to pay at the time of service. Seasonal flu shots cost $40, high-dose flu shots cost $50, Nasal Vaccine FluMist® $40 and Pneumovax vaccinations $65.
The Centers for Disease Control recommend flu vaccines for persons age 6 months and older.
