What:	The Colorado Flu Shot Company will be providing family flu immunization clinics. The flu vaccinations are now recommended by the Center for Disease Control and the American Academy of Pediatrics for anyone 6 months of age and older who would like to increase their chances of a Flu free Fall/Winter season. The CDC in 2006 has changed the age range of high risk children to include all children 5 years and under, and their care givers. This is because younger children are most at risk for secondary infections (pneumonia, bronchitis, ear infections), and complications from the virus result in more childhood hospitalizations than any other vaccine -preventable disease. Others at higher risk include: anyone with asthma, heart disease, kidney disease, nursing or pregnant mothers, and cancer patients. School age children/students are also the most common source of spreading the virus. COST: Intra nasal Flu vaccine $30.00 (for ages 2 to 49 years without chronic diseases) Flu shot $25.00 Pneumonia $40.00 Dates: Sunday, October 5, 12, 19 & 26 and November 2, 9, 16, 23 & 30th. Time: 1:00pm - 4:00pm Location: Community Center Cash or checks payable to the Colorado Flu Shot Company accepted; receipts available. Parental consent is required for children under 18 years of age and consent forms are available by fax. Vaccinations will be provided by a Pediatric RN. The Colorado Flu Shot Company also carries Pneumonia, Tetanus/Pertussis, travel vaccinations, along with Hepatitis A & B, and the new vaccines against Shingles, Meningitis, and HPV (Cervical Cancer). An appointment is not needed for a flu shot. If you would like to get one of the additional vaccines please call the COLORADO FLU SHOT COMPANY AT 303-932-8989 OR FAX: 303-932-0004.
