• Persons aged 25 through 64 years who have medical conditions associated with a higher risk of influenza complication (diabetes, asthma, heart conditions, weakened immune system, etc.)
People are asked to bring their insurance, Medicare or Medicaid cards. No fees will be charged.
People with flu-like symptoms are not eligible for vaccination.
As more vaccine becomes available, additional clinics will be held.
