the Wellness Services team at McKee Medical Center will offer the first of several community flu shot clinics in Loveland. The vaccination offered is to help prevent the seasonal flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends getting the flu shot as soon as it is available to provide protection if the flu season comes early. This year’s vaccine contains the H1N1 strain that was prevalent in the 2009-2010 season.

Clinics are open to all adults as well as children ages 4-17 who are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Flu vaccines are $25.

McKee will offer pneumonia shots for $70 and tetanus shots for $40 for people 16 and older. Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough) vaccines are available for people ages 11 to 64 for $65.  Medicare billing is available for flu and pneumonia vaccines for Original Medicare patients. Please bring your Medicare Part B card. No other insurance billing is offered.  (Please note alternative site)
