Burlington County will begin hosting seasonal flu and pneumonia vaccine clinics next Monday, Sept. 16, at the Moorestown Mall, and will continue with a total of 19 clinics countywide through Dec. 30.

Residents with computer access should schedule their flu shot by visiting the Health Department website. Residents who have scheduled their appointment online and bring the printed and completed consent form will be fast-tracked through the clinic. Walk-ins will still be welcome but may have to wait in line.

In addition to targeting the usual higher risk groups—such as those 50 and older, people with chronic medical conditions, weakened immune or respiratory systems, and pregnant women—all youth through age 23 are advised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to receive seasonal flu vaccines this year to reduce the spread of flu in schools. “Pneumo” vaccine is recommended for people who have not had one in five years and if the first one was given before 65.

The county clinic is for adult 18 and older, but parents can take their children to physicians for flu vaccines and many other county locales will be giving the seasonal flu vaccine.

The county Health Department accepts Medicare Part “B” to cover the cost for seasonal flu and pneumonia vaccines. A donation of $15 for the seasonal flu vaccine and $25 for pneumo is recommended by those not covered by Medicare, if residents can afford it. People who have Medicare coverage and belong to a managed care plan or HMO should go to their regular health care providers to receive immunizations.
