Flu Program - Schedule, Qualifications & Cost

Flu Vaccinations Fall 2010:

This Fall we will be offering the flu vaccine in our clinics and at various community sites.

For the first time, the flu vaccine is now recommended for everyone over the age of 6 months.

The coming flu vaccine will cover the 3 most common viruses including the 2009 H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus.

Only one dose is necessary for all people to be protected.

Lincoln County Public Health will not be offering the
New High Dose vaccine that is licensed for those 65 years and older. Please contact your private medical provider if you are interested in getting the high dose vaccine instead of the regular dose vaccine.

HOMEBOUND Clients: Shrinking county resources have made it necessary for us to carefully screen those clients who can receive their flu and pneumonia shots at our public clinics from those who are truly homebound. Public Health will be screening requests for homebound shots.
