Cold and flu season has arrived!

Protect yourself and those you love by getting a flu vaccine. Flu shots are recommended for everyone 6 months and older, and we offer vaccines for all ages.

If you have Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance, please bring your card for billing. Most insurance plans cover preventive services like the flu shot.

Appointments are welcome but not required.
To schedule, call 660-359-4196.

We’ll also be hosting a walk-in flu shot clinic this Friday!
