Crow Wing County Community Services Health Division will host walk-in flu clinics (H1N1 and seasonal) at the Crow Wing County Public Health office in Brainerd every Wednesday in February from 2 to 4 p.m.
This H1N1 clinic is open to everyone 6 months of age and older. Second doses will be available for children age 9 and under who received their first H1N1 dose at least 28 days prior to the clinic. There is no charge for H1N1 vaccine.
Seasonal flu shots are for people ages 6 months and older. Seasonal Flu Mist is currently not available, only shots.
Cost is $25 per vaccination or public health will bill Medicare Part B, Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare. You must bring your card.
Some $5 vaccine will be available for children ages 2 to 18 who meet the Minnesota Vaccines for Children eligibility guidelines.
No one will be turned away for inability to pay; however, if your private insurance covers this vaccine in full, you are asked to go to your provider or pay the $25 fee. Public health does not bill private insurance.
These are walk-in clinics; no appointments will be made.
