Immunization & Flu Clinics
Don't Get The Flu...Get The Flu Vaccine
Protect yourself before the seasonal flu strikes by getting your annual flu vaccine. Children who receive their immunizations in Community Health through the Vaccine for Children program can receive their flu vaccine in Community Health.
Vaccination is especially important for children, adults age 65 and older, pregnant women and people with asthma, diabetes and other long-term conditions who are at high risk from flu complications.
School Based Vaccine Clinics
Community Health staff typically visit schools throughout Kossuth County to offer student flu vaccine clinics in September and October. In order to participate, students need to bring a completed flu consent form and copies of a health insurance card (both sides) by mid September. Call Community Health for this year’s deadline for consent forms. The school-based clinics are the only vaccine clinics that will be using a paper consent form. All other registrations will be done with KRHC’s electronic health record system.
Flu Vaccine Information
Please bring a copy of your insurance or Medicare card for insurance to cover the vaccine, or be prepared to pay the fee. For more information and updates call KRHC at 515.295.2451.
