Cash, check and credit card will also be accepted. Self-pay cost is $40 for the low dose and $107 for the high dose.

Flu symptoms tend to be worse than a cold. The flu can lead to sinus and ear infections, pneumonia, bacterial infections or hospitalization. For people who already have medical conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart disease, the flu can make their conditions worse and lead to serious complications.

Flu shots prevent 40 percent of flu-related hospitalizations among adults and 82 percent of admissions into an intensive care unit.
