City to offer flu shots
In an effort to make flu shots more accessible at convenient locations this fall, the City of Winter Park Fire-Rescue Department will be offering seasonal flu shots at their upcoming “Flu Shot Fridays.” These clinics will enable citizens to obtain quick and affordable influenza vaccines administered by licensed, insured professionals. The influenza (seasonal) vaccine is the common flu vaccine, which the National Center for Disease Control recommends once a year.
For those insured primarily with Medicare Part B, there is no charge for a flu shot. All others will be charged $25 for the flu shot (cash, check, VISA® or MasterCard® accepted).
The “high-dose” flu vaccine will also be offered to those 65 years of age and older. For those insured primarily with Medicare Part B, there is no charge. All others will be charged $45 for the high-dose vaccine.
“Flu Shot Fridays” will take place on the following dates at the following locations:
Friday, Oct. 7, through November from 8 a.m. to noon; Station 62, 300 S. Lakemont Ave.
Saturday, Oct. 29, and Saturday, Nov. 26, 9 a.m. to noon; Winter Park Farmers’ Market, 200 W. New England Ave.
For additional information on these clinics, please call 407-599-3613.
