The Red Cross is seeking volunteers to help with upcoming flu shot clinics.

The Red Cross will be holding flu shot clinics around the community for businesses and groups.

To volunteer, you must attend a training session at the Red Cross. The next training for nurses is at 5:30 pm next Tuesday. Training for hosts volunteers will start at 10:30 next Wednesday morning. Both trainings will be held at the American Red Cross building at 401 North 12thStreet in St. Joseph.

To sign up for the training or register as a volunteer, please call the Red Cross at 816-232-8439.

If you have 15 or more employee and are interest in holding a flu shot clinic for your business or church, please contact the American Red Cross.  Red Cross officials say  most health insurance companies will pay for the $30 cost of the flu shot.

Red Cross accepts payment from Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Tri-Care, Humana, Coventry, UMR, Medicare Part B, Railroad Insurance and Medicare Supplements.  With those insurances there will be no cost to your organization or the individual for the Red Cross to conduct a clinic at your location.
