VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region offers flu shots

Vermont Business Magazine The VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region (VNAHSR) is offering flu shots by appointment only beginning Thursday, September 29. While the flu shot only protects against influenza and not COVID-19, health experts are encouraging individuals to get vaccinated against the flu to mitigate the risk of flu illness, hospitalization, and death.

Appointments for individuals 18 and over can be made by visiting https://clinics.timetap.com/#/

To protect individuals, appointments will be staggered and equipment will be disinfected between uses. Additionally, staff will utilize personal protective equipment (PPE) and clinic attendees must wear masks. Attendees are asked to wear a shirt that provides easy access to your upper arm so clinicians can administer your immunization quickly and easily.

We accept Medicare/Medicaid, MVP, and BlueCross BlueShield Insurances for payment. Please bring your card to your appointment. If you do not have a participating insurance plan, payment will be accepted by check or credit card. The cost of the vaccine is $90.00 for High Dose (individuals 65 and older and those with chronic health conditions) and $39 for a standard flu shot (individuals under 65).
