Flu shots are given in walk-in clinics at drug stores, grocery stores, discount stores and local health facilities. Some are free and others are as low as $20.00. Be sure to check your local area this month for vaccines that are more affordable.

If you have medicare or medicaid, they cover the cost. My doctor said the CDC has recommended people with lung/heart problems get 2 vacs, one now, and one in three months. And make sure you pneumonia (sp?) is current.
Thanks for the reminder ohana.

That pneumonia shot is a good reminder. Thank you, mandysgrandy. We don't get it every year but we need to keep track of when we will be due for it again. I for one, never ever want pneumonia again !!

In UK you will need to contact your GP to find out when they will be giving the vaccine for all persons who are under 60 who will qualify ie COPD, Diabetics, Heart and Cancer patients etc. (Being 60 and over you automatically qualify)
I don't get mind till 18th October, some surgies are already giving it. Good wishes to all and keep well.

Gee I really must spend time re-reading my posts .......
I don't get mine till 18th October, some surgeries are already giving it to their patients. A great post - thanks Ohana and Mandy's comment re pneumonia applies in the UK too. Although I think we only get offered that once / twice if medical profession think we need it.
