Community Immunization and Flu Program
As a community-based organization, we continually look for ways keep you healthy. Flu shots have been proven to help older adults and other at-risk individuals stay healthy throughout the winter season.
When and where flu shots and other immunizations are available
Flu vaccines are available typically during October and November. We can arrange to visit your community site or go directly to the home or residence of those in need. The cost of a flu shot is $25.Medicare will pay for your flu shot if you have Medicare Part B (have your Medicare card available). Let your VNACJ representative know if payment is a concern.
Pneumonia and other immunizations, unlike flu shots aren’t needed annually, but depend on your medical history. Check with your healthcare provider. We recommend pneumonia shots for people over 65 or people with chronic illness such as heart or lung disease or weakened immune systems. Hepatitis B and mantoux screening for tuberculosis are provided when appropriate. Pneumonia immunization is $40.
