 All persons ages 6 months and up should receive flu vaccine every year.

There are different kinds of flu vaccine available, depending on your age and health:

      A.  Regular flu shot (ages 3-64 years of age)

      B.  High Dose flu shot for age 65 years and older

      C.  Pediatric flu shot for ages 6 months to 35 months

Flu vaccinations can be billed to Medicare Part B and Wellmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield if you bring your card. For other insurance plans, we will provide a receipt for you that can be used for reimbursement.

Children 6 months through 18 years with Medicaid, who have no insurance, who have insurance that does not cover flu vaccine costs or who are Native American or Alaskan Native may receive flu vaccine from the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program at no cost. The VFC supply is provided by the Iowa Department of Public Health at no charge. Donations are accepted to help defray expenses.
