The vaccine is for those at least 18 years old and at no cost to persons with one of several accepted health insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield and United Healthcare, officials said.
For those without insurance, the cost is $25 for a quadrivalent flu shot – a vaccine that protects against four different strains of flu – and $65 for a high-dose flu vaccine for persons 65 years of age and older, officials said.
