Flu Shot Update

We have added two additional flu clinics. Shots will be available while supplies last.

Children ages 6 months to 18 years old, adults over age 50, those with certain chronic illnesses, and anyone who works or lives with a high-risk individual should be vaccinated. A prescription is required only for children under the age of 5. We do recommend bringing children under 9 years of age to any clinic that is listed below.

The out-of-pocket cost for a flu immunization depends on a customer's health insurance plan. Shots are free for customers with Medicare Part B. For customers not using health insurance, the influenza shot costs only $25 with a Ukrop's Valued Customer Card (a $14 savings). For those who don't like needles, preservative-free FluMist nasal vaccine is available for qualifying individuals (ages 2-49). Pneumonia vaccines also are available for $58 a shot.

H1N1 Update:
We do not anticipate receiving our allotment of H1N1 vaccine until after Thanksgiving.
