Influenza (flu) can be a very serious disease for you, your family, and friends — but you can lower your risk for severe complications by getting vaccinated. Everyone age 6 months and older is recommended to get a yearly flu shot.
There are many different types of flu vaccine options, and Health and Human Services offers thimerosal-free flu shots as well as higher dose vaccines for older adults. Shots are free with Medicaid and Medicare, and only $25 for all others.

Influenza outbreaks each season are unpredictable; therefore, vaccination is the best protection. Call HHS at 847-781-4850 for questions or visit our appointment portal  to request an appointment.
