Flu shots can be obtained at
the Health Department on Thursdays starting between the hours of 8:30 to 11:30
a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. No appointment is necessary.
Again this year, the State
Immunization Program provided flu vaccine at a substantial cost savings for
children that qualify under the Vaccines for Children Program. Children can
come to the Health Department on Thursdays during the hours of 8:30 to 11:30
a.m. and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. or you can call 815-748-2460 to schedule an
appointment for your child.
Flu shots will not be given to
individuals that are allergic to eggs or who report a history of previous
adverse reactions after receiving the flu vaccine. Individuals under
the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
There will be a $30 charge for
adults receiving the flu shot. Medicare will be billed for those
individuals with Part B. You must bring your Medicare card to the clinic.
Medicaid (or Public Aid) will also be billed for adults and your card must be
presented to receive the vaccine.
