October is typically the beginning of the annual flu season in the Interior. As flu season begins, it is important to consider the double threat of influenza and COVID-19. Both are highly contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. Vaccination is the primary method for preventing the flu and its complications, and it is the best way to protect yourself and your family.

Here’s how it works:

• Make an appointment by calling 907-459-3520
• Have infants and toddlers dressed in a diaper or shorts.
• Insurance can be billed for the cost of the flu shot, just like if it was administered during an office visit.
