BRIGHAM CITY -- Flu shots and flu mist are now available at the Bear River Health Department. Clinics will be held from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday in the Logan and Brigham City offices.
The cost of the shot and the mist will be $25. The health department accepts Medicaid, Medicare Part B, Medicare HMO (based on private policy), Select Health, EMI Health, PEHP Advantage and Traditional, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
"An annual flu shot is the first and very best way to protect against influenza." said Lisa Perkins, influenza program coordinator for the Bear River Health Department. "New this year we have high-dose vaccine that is recommended for people 65 and older. We want to assure that everyone who would like a flu shot is able to receive one."
As in previous years, the health department will have flu mist available. Flu mist is approved for those ages 2 years to 49 years. Flu mist has not been approved for those with chronic illness.
