The VNA can administer shots to individuals 10 years of age and older. No out-of-pocket expenses will be charged to patients who present a Medicare card. Free flu shots are available to individuals who do not have health insurance and cannot otherwise afford to pay.
Though flu vaccines can vary in effectiveness from season to season, flu vaccines are safe and are the best way to prevent influenza infection and serious influenza complications. Those who have not been vaccinated should get vaccinated as soon as possible.
