The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and San Juan Basin Public Health urge Coloradans ages 6 months and older to get a flu vaccine, ideally before the end of October.
San Juan Basin Public Health encourages residents to receive their immunizations from their primary care provider. Flu shots are a preventive care benefit for children and adults covered under the Affordable Care Act.
For most people, the immunization will be free. For more information, visit bit.ly/1j38pv0.
San Juan Basin Public Health provides flu shots for eligible children and adults who qualify for federally supported vaccines if they are unable to receive them from their primary care provider.
In addition, the health department has a limited supply of specialized flu vaccine, including high dose flu shots for seniors and preservative free vaccine for pregnant women.
