MedWest Haywood Home Care Services will offer flu shots at the Home Care building from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday on a first-come, first-served, walk-in basis. No appointment is necessary. The Home Care building is located directly behind MedWest Haywood. The cost is $25.

While there are many different flu viruses, the flu vaccine is designed to protect against the three main flu strains.

Medicare and Medicare Advantage will be accepted with a photo identification card. No commercial insurance or Medicaid will be accepted; however, individuals can pay for the shot and file for reimbursement. No shots will be given to anyone younger than 18.

For more information, call 828.452.8292.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
