Bismarck Burleigh Public Health (BBPH) is holding walk-in flu vaccination clinics on select dates throughout the month of October
“Bismarck Burleigh Public Health (BBPH) is prepared with plenty of flu vaccine to control the influenza virus,” said Vonnie Ereth, BBPH Wellness Supervisor. “We have both the injectable vaccine and nasal Flu Mist. Get vaccinated now so that you will be protected when flu season begins.”
The flu shot is available to all people age 6 months and older. The nasal flu vaccine is approved for healthy people ages 2 to 49 who are not pregnant. Fluzone High-Dose is a new influenza vaccine, designed specifically for people 65 years and older. A higher dose of antigen in the vaccine is supposed to give older people a better immune response and therefore better protection against flu.
The flu vaccination clinics are walk-in, no appointments are necessary. The cost for the Flu shot is $25.00, $30.00 for Flu Mist, and $35.00 for the high dose Flu shot. Please remember to bring your insurance cards and ID forms to the walk-in flu vaccination clinics. Bismarck Burleigh Public Health is able to bill Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Medicaid, and Medicare part B. We are unable to bill any Medicare Advantage Plans. Not all insurance companies cover the cost of the flu shot. Check with your insurance company if you have questions about coverage.
