Seasonal Flu

Starting January 23, 2023, Polk County Health Department will change their appointment hours for the flu vaccine to Thursdays and Fridays from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. Appointments are required, please register for your appointment at: https://www.immunizepolk.com/. 

Most major insurance plans are accepted. Do not forget to bring your insurance card to the clinic. Fluzone high dose, a flu shot specifically designed for individuals 65 years and older will be $65. As individuals age, their immune system weakens over time. Fluzone high dose provides a higher dose of antigen in the vaccine and is designed to give older people a better immune response, and therefore, better protection against the flu. The cost for a quadravalent flu shot for individuals 6 months through 64 years without insurance is $25. Uninsured individuals will not be turned away because of inability to pay. 

Please wear your mask. Face masks are required when receiving your flu shot.
