On average, approximately 36,000 Americans die from influenza every year, and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications. With this year’s flu season fast approaching, the VNA is making preparations to ensure that our community is protected. VNA's annual “Shoo the Flu” campaign provides low-cost flu and pneumonia vaccinations to Indian River and Brevard County residents.
Immunization clinics will be offered at public locations (including places of worship, civic organizations, social clubs and homeowners' associations) from early October through early January. For the public, the flu vaccine costs $28 per person and the pneumonia vaccine is $45 per person. If clients present a Medicare or Health First Medicare HMO card at the time of immunization, there is no out-of-pocket expense; we will bill Medicare on their behalf.
Also available is a corporate program for local businesses who want to offer flu clinics on-site for their employees.
