Flu Clinic Begins Tomorrow
Champaign-Urbana Public Health District’s 2-Day Seasonal Flu Clinic Begins Tomorrow.
Champaign, IL – Champaign-Urbana Public Health District (CUPHD) will be providing seasonal flu shots (NOT H1N1 flu shots) from the parking lot at 201 West Kenyon Road on Thursday and Friday, September 17th and 18th from 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Vaccines will be available for everyone ages 4 and up. Flu vaccines are available for $35.00 and Pneumonia vaccines are available for $52.00. CUPHD will accept Medicaid, Medicare, Visa, Master Card, cash, and personal checks. Medicaid and Medicare cards are required at the time of visit. CUPHD does not accept private insurance (HMO, PPO, POS). The flu clinic will be a “drive-thru”. Customers wanting flu shots will not have to leave the comfort of their car, but rather be able to “get the shot and go”. To speed things up even more, persons are asked to go to the CUPHD website (www.c-uphd.org) and print out and complete the paperwork. You will then be able to go through the “FAST LANE”. Paperwork will also be available at CUPHD’s Kenyon Road facility and at other public locations around Champaign-Urbana.
All media outlets are welcome to be on-site for interviews or to host live remotes. Please contact Amy Roberts to schedule a time at (217) 531-4264 (office), (217) 415-1919 (cell) or by e-mail at
