County Adds More Flu Shot Locations

Stay in Sachem or go just outside to get the shot.

Suffolk County Health Services announced that the county will offer flu and pneumonia immunizations to adults at evening clinics beginning Nov. 23. The clinics will be held in Holbrook, Riverhead, Commack and Lindenhurst.

No fee will be collected from those participants with Medicare Part B non-managed care (no Medicare Advantage plans) for the influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations, as Medicare will be billed for the service, according to the county.

A list of insurances accepted by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS) can be accessed on the SCDHS website.  All others will be charged $37 for the influenza vaccination and $25 for the pneumococcal vaccination.  The fee is payable by check or money order; cash will not be accepted. The fee for the new high-dose influenza vaccine will be $55.
