Health department to hold flu clinics

The Randolph County Health Department will partner with the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program in Randolph County to provide flu clinics over the fall season.

Everyone 6 months of age and older needs to receive flu vaccine every year and is welcome to get their flu vaccine at any of these clinics. High dose flu vaccine for those 65 years and older as well as Pediatric flu vaccine for those 6-35 months is available. Regular and Pediatric flu vaccine are $40 per dose. High dose flu vaccine is $70 per dose. The flu mist is not available this year from our health department.

We are able to bill Medicare and current or retired state of Illinois employees. Individuals not covered by either can pay by cash or check. A receipt and, if needed, information to submit an insurance claim, will be provided. The Randolph County Health Department is no longer a Medicaid provider.
