With the start of fall comes the start of the flu season and the arrival of flu vaccine at the Panhandle Health District (PHD). Health experts recommend flu vaccinations for everyone six months old and up. The flu virus is contagious and spreads quickly, particularly in group settings such as school and workplaces. The vaccine is the best protection from the flu. PHD’s Hayden office, 8500 N. Atlas Rd., has flu vaccine for all ages and has scheduled clinics to provide it to the public. No appointments are necessary. Vaccinations are $29 for adults and $10 for children. PHD accepts cash, checks, credit cards, Medicaid and Medicare Part B. People should bring insurance cards and any supplemental insurance information. Dates for flu vaccination clinics here.
