Welcome to the Kankakee County Health Department
Protect Yourself and Others - Get a Flu Shot
The first seasonal flu vaccination clinic will be held on Saturday, September 25 at the Kankakee County Health Department.
This is a walk-in clinic - appointments are not needed.
The clinic will begin at 8:00 am and will close at 12:00 pm.
The cost is $25.00 for a flu shot. Both Medicaid (for children through the age of 18) and Medicare, are accepted.
The health department has a small amount of "Flu Mist", a vaccine that can be administered without a needle. Flu Mist can be given to people between the ages of 2 and 34 who are in good health. The cost of Flu Mist is $30.00.
The single best way to protect yourself against the flu is to get vaccinated.
