All LaSalle County Health Department influenza vaccines are preservative free. The fee for the seasonal flu shot will be $25. The fee for influenza HD will be $50. Insurance billing will be provided for Medicare part B and Medicaid eligible clients and also for most health insurance companies. You must have your insurance card with you.  No Doctors order is required.  Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.\n \n      The clinic schedule will be as follows:\n       September 29th from 10:00 – 2:00       LaSalle County Health Department\n       October 18th    from 1:00 – 5:00          LaSalle County Health Department \n       October 25th     from 1:00 – 5:00            LaSalle County Health Department\n       November 15th   from 1:00 – 5:00          LaSalle County Health Department\n \nThe flu vaccine’s effectiveness varies from year to year.  But for those who still get the flu\, the symptoms are milder than in those who have not been immunized.  Influenza HD will be given to persons 65 and older.  Human immune defenses become weaker with age.  Aging decreases the body’s ability to have a good immune response.  A higher dose of protection in the vaccine is added to give older persons a better immune response. This additional protection is intended to create a stronger immune response which will make the vaccine more effective in the elderly.\nTo lessen your chances of developing the flu\, adults and children need to practice good hygiene measures.  Teach the importance of covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing\, and educate children about hand to mucous membrane transmission.  One of the best ways to protect yourself and your children is through frequent and thorough hand washing.  People who are exhibiting “flu-like” symptoms should stay home from work\, out of childcare and school to minimize transmission.\nThis is also a good time for certain individuals to get a pneumonia vaccination.   People who should get a pneumonia shot include: \n\npersons aged 65 and older\nAdults and children with chronic illnesses such as heart\, lung\, kidney\, or liver disease\nDiabetics\nAll persons with a weakened immune system caused by conditions such as HIV\, cancer\, organ transplant\, immunosuppressive medicine\, splenectomy\, or any other chronic condition.\n\nFor those under 65 with a chronic illness it is recommended that it be repeated once after five years. A pneumonia shot is usually necessary only once for those over the age of 65.\nThe pneumonia vaccine will be available at the Health Department flu clinics.
