The St. Joseph Health Department, along with physicians and pharmacies, offer the flu vaccine
to protect against influenza. The health department will offer a clinic at the Mayes Memorial
Army National Guard Armory on Wednesday, October 1 from 8:30 a.m. to noon, or until
supplies are depleted. There will be no out‐of‐pocket charge for the vaccine, however, if a
person has insurance, such as Medicare, Missouri HeatlhNet (Medicaid) or a private health
insurance provider, please present that card at the clinic so that your insurance company can
be billed for the vaccination. The health department offers this free vaccine in order to protect
our community as fully as possible from the complications of influenza.
