Munson Urgent Care Offers H1N1 Flu Shots
H1N1 flu vaccine will be available during regular hours

Munson's Urgent Care is offering the H1N1 flu vaccine from 7 a.m. - 10 p.m., seven days a week. Cost is $18.60, payable by cash or check. Insurances accepted include Priority Health, Blue Cross, and Medicare/Medicare Advantage Insurance

"We have H1N1 flu vaccine for ages 4 through adult," said Karen Paulosky, Urgent Care manager. "We will continue to offer the H1N1 shot until supplies are gone."

Vaccination is the best prevention against both seasonal and H1N1 flu. Pregnant women, younger adults up to 24 years old, and people with underlying health conditions are especially vulnerable to the H1N1 virus. Infants under six months cannot receive the vaccine, so their caregivers also need to be vaccinated.

Urgent Care is located at Munson Community Health Center, 550 Munson Ave. in Traverse City. For more information, contact(231) 935-8686 and press 8 for a flu shot update.
