No appointments are necessary. These are “walk-in”
clinics.
These clinics are for those individuals age 9 years and older. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by their parent or guardian.
The fee for the flu shot is $30. The pneumonia vaccine will also be available at these clinics for $55. ( If the pneumonia vaccine is given after age 65, it is only necessary to have one shot. If it was given before age 65, another dose may be indicated after age 65. At least 5 years should separate these two shots.) The pneumonia vaccine is not recommended annually as is the flu shot. Seniors are reminded to bring their Medicare cards.
Greendale Health Department will be offering flu vaccine to children ages 6 months through 18 years of age. An appointment will be necessary for these clinics at the Health Department. Call 423-2110 to schedule an appointment for your child. The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that all individuals 6 months of age and older should receive an annual seasonal flu shot.
This year the seasonal influenza vaccine will include protection against the H1N1 influenza as well as two other strains that are currently circulating.
