Flu Shots
In accordance with recommendations from the CDC, the Sedgwick County Health Department is encouraging all citizens age six months and older to get their flu vaccinations this fall. To aid the process, we are once again offering flu shots at 2716 West Central, during regular business hours. Effective January 3, 2011, shots are $15 each for persons 10 and older and $10 for age 9 and under. A sliding scale is available for those who qualify with proof of income. Most insurances are accepted and will be filed, including Medicare/Medicaid/Healthwave. Flu shots will also be offered to various communities around the Wichita area via our mobile flu clinics.

Besides vaccination, there are other ways to protect yourself from the flu. The Sedgwick County Health Department offers these suggestions to help keep yourself and those around you healthy:
- Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
- Wash your hands often, especially before touching food or your face, nose, eyes or mouth.
- Stay home if you're sick.
- Limit visits to hospitals and nursing homes.
- If you become ill, consult your primary care physician or health care provider.
