Those receiving shots must be 18 years of age or older.
(DALLAS) - West Valley Hospital has determined that it will need to charge $10 for each flu shot, to cover the cost of acquiring the vaccine.
"With the number of people we expect to seek flu shots and the costs of the vaccine, we had to make the difficult decision that we will need to charge for the shots," says Shari Bruce, Surgery Supervisor. "We apologize for the confusion that we know this will cause."
The community flu-shot clinic is scheduled for Wednesday from 1:00 to 3:00 PM and Thursday from 8:00 to 11:00 AM.
No appointment is necessary.
Those receiving shots must be 18 years of age or older. "We will be able to bill insurance," says Bruce.
The flu-shot clinic will be held in the Same-Day Surgery Department at West Valley Hospital, 525 SW Washington Street, Dallas.
