HEALTH
DEPARTMENT’S
INFLUENZA VACCINE
CLINIC
The Allegheny County Health
Department (ACHD) is offering flu
immunizations at its walk-in clinic
(425 First Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15219).
Residents should enter the building via
Cherry Way and proceed to the fourth
floor. The clinic is open weekdays from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m., except on Wednesdays
when the clinic’s hours are 1-8 p.m.; no
appointment is necessary.
Influenza is a highly contagious upper
respiratory infection that can cause mild
to severe illness and can potentially be
fatal. The CDC recommends an annual
flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age
and older.
“Flu season is upon us and the first step
to fighting the flu is to get vaccinated,” said
Dr. Karen Hacker, Health Department
Director. “We encourage all residents to
check with their health care provider as
soon as possible to determine which is the
best vaccine type for them. Getting your
flu shot not only protects you and your
loved ones, it protects those susceptible
to getting the flu, such as the elderly and
newborns.”
The price of a regular flu shot for
residents with insurance is about $27. The
health department is again offering the
high-dose influenza vaccine this year. This
vaccine is four times more concentrated
than the regular flu shot and is available
only for seniors 65 years of age and older.
The high-dose flu shot price is $57.
The flu vaccine is often a covered
benefit, and you can receive the flu shot
icmags.com
for free at many locations around the
county; however, the ACHD reminds
residents to make sure to check with
their insurance provider prior to getting
the flu shot.
A limited supply of flu vaccine may be
available, at no cost, to uninsured and
underinsured residents of Allegheny
County. Updates will be made to the
ACHD website and posted on the
department’s Facebook page.
