Flu shots still available at Urgent Care Centers

Despite recent news reports of area flu vaccine shortages, St. Anthony’s Medical Center’s four urgent care centers have plenty of vaccine and continue to offer flu shots to the community.

The cost is $25 for the traditional shot, or $30 for the new intradermal injection that uses a smaller needle injected into the skin instead of the muscle. This year’s flu vaccine offers protection against H1N1 and the seasonal flu virus.

Flu shots are available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at all four of St. Anthony’s Urgent Care centers:

Arnold Urgent Care, 3619 Richardson Square Drive in Arnold;
Big Bend Urgent Care, 10296 Big Bend Blvd., at Hwy. 44 and Big Bend;
Fenton Urgent Care, 714 Gravois Road in Fenton;
Lemay Urgent Care, 2900 Lemay Ferry Road in south county.

People who are older than 65, have a chronic illness or work with chronically ill people are especially susceptible to flu and are advised to receive a flu shot. Flu shot recipients must be at least 7 years old. Individuals age 18 and younger need to have a parent with them to sign a consent form. Pregnant women can receive the vaccine with an order from their doctor. The intradermal injection can only be administered to individuals between the ages of 18 and 64.

St. Anthony’s will bill to Medicare, but all other flu shot recipients will be required to pay with cash or charge. Recipients will receive a receipt for their vaccinations to pursue reimbursement opportunities with their own insurance companies.

No appointment is necessary. For more information on St. Anthony’s flu shots, call the flu shot hotline at 314-525-4999 or call 314-ANTHONY (268-4669).
