Although flu is only reportable if there is a death of a person 6 months of age and unvaccinated to receive the flu vaccine before supply runs out. Flu vaccine protection decreases over time, and the vaccine protects against different strains each year. It is important to get your flu vaccine every year, even if you have previously received a flu vaccine containing protection from H1N1. For a flu vaccine call Coos County Public Health or your local provider. Coos County Public Health has flu vaccine available for those 4 years of age and older. The Health Department is able to bill Medicare, Oregon Health Plan, Pacific Source, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Oregon, Lifewise, and Providence. For those paying by cash or check, the discounted price is $25. To make an appointment, call 541-751-2400.
