• Nov. 5 — Dawson-Bryant Elementary, time to be determined.

Flu vaccine cost is as follows:

If one is 19 years and older and has Medicaid the health department will bill your medical card. If one is 19 years or older and has Medicare or private insurance the health department will attempt to bill your card through the Vaxcare system and if there is any fee left to pay after that, it will be your responsibility to cover what is left.

If one is 18 years and younger and has a Medicaid card the flu vaccine is of no cost to you and your Medicaid card will be billed.
