H1N1 Vaccines Available
Currently, the only H1N1 vaccine available is in the FluMist form. H1N1 FluMist is only for healthy individuals with no underlying health conditions, like pregnancy, asthma, and diabetes.
The H1N1 FluMist will only be available Thursday to the following groups based on recommendations by the Colorado Department of Public Health:
Individual household contacts of children under 6 months of age (these individuals must be healthy with no underlying health conditions and between the ages of two and 49).
Healthy children, ages 2-18, without any underlying health conditions.
The price for H1N1 FluMist vaccines is $15.00.
Seasonal Flu Vaccines Available
There is a limited supply of Seasonal Flu vaccines. They will be given on a first-come-first-served basis and are $25 (flu shot and nasal spray). If you have Medicare (Part B), Evercare, Rocky Mountain Health Plan, Humana Gold Choice, or Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance you will not have a co-pay for the flu vaccine. To be eligible for this, you must bring your insurance card for proof of coverage.
As Platte Valley Medical Center receives additional vaccines, new community clinic dates will be announced. Please visit www.pvmc.org/blog for updates and announcements. You can also call the hospital’s flu line at 303-498-3595 for details.
