Influenza "Flu" Season

The best way to prevent seasonal influenza or the "flu" is to get a flu vaccination each fall.

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. In an effort to better protect the public, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now recommending all children 6 months of age and older receive an annual influenza vaccine.

JCPH provides flu shots by appointment only at our Arvada and Lakewood locations during our regularly scheduled immunization clinics. Please call 303-232-6301 for an appointment or more information (facility locations).

• JCPH provides flu shots for children 6 months and older and
  adults thru age 64.
• JCPH cannot bill Medicare.

The fee for JCPH flu shots is $25.00 for adults and $14.50 for children.

Visiting Nurse Association accepts Medicare.  
Please call 303-698-6378 or visit www.vnacolorado.org  

In addition the The Colorado Influenza and Pneumococcal Alert Coalition's (CIPAC) Web site provides an online flu-shot clinic locator.
