Taking flu shots to seniors
Published 5:59 pm Monday, September 30, 2013
Seniors concerned about getting their flu shots this season have three opportunities at area senior centers over the next two weeks.
Saluda Medical Center staff plans to provide shots at the Saluda Center on Wednesday, Oct. 2 beginning at 9:30 a.m. Shots will then be available at The Meeting Place II in Green Creek on Thursday, Oct. 3 at 11 a.m. and at The Meeting Place in Columbus on Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 11 a.m.
“We do it at the senior centers so people don’t have to drive, because most of them already come to the senior centers and can get the shots taken care of in a familiar environment,” said Amy Mills at Saluda Medical Center.
Donna Carson at the Saluda Center said anyone not on Medicaid, Medicare or a private insurance would be charged a $25 fee for the shot. Those on Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance should make sure they have their medical card with them when they come for the shots.
