Insurance Form-Complete and bring with you.

Each year in the United States, on average, 5-20% of the population gets the flu.

More than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year from flu-related complications.

The flu vaccine, cannot give you the flu. The vaccine is made with either no flu virus at all, or a virus that has been 'inactivated'.

Vaccines are free to those who attend, but we ask you bring your insurance and/or Medicaid card so we may bill your insurance for administrative costs.

This reimbursement helps subsidize the Northampton Public Health Vaccine Program and ensures clinics can continue for years to come.

Contact Jenny Meyer, RN with any questions.
