District Health Department #10 is helping communities in northern Michigan prepare for the flu season by offering flu vaccines to kids, adults and seniors.
They say flu season is unpredictable, and with the coronavirus continuing to spread, it is more important than ever to protect yourself and your family against the flu by getting your annual flu shot.
DHD#10 will be offering the flu vaccine, along with the COVID-19 vaccine, at the following locations:
-

The cost of the flu vaccine without insurance is $37. High dose and preservative-free vaccines are available for $46. The coronavirus vaccine is free.
DHD#10 asks that individuals bring their insurance cards and driver’s licenses when attending the clinics.

They say it is important to be aware of your insurance benefit rules.
