Flu Shot Clinic
Hello, faculty and staff- It’s flu shot time! Star Wellness will be here on September 3rd from 12:00-1:30 p.m. and again during our health fair on October 31st. Please schedule an appointment for September 3rd. The flu shot clinic will be hosted in the DuBose Executive Boardroom in the Martin University Center, and don't forget to bring your insurance card. If you bring a copy of your insurance card and driver’s license it will make the check-in process go faster. Flu and Tetanus (TDAP) shots are covered 100% by insurance. Tetanus shots are good for 7-10 years so they recommend it be at least five years since your last Tetanus shot, unless you are going to be around a newborn. Star Wellness is in-network with all the major insurance carriers so they can accept most insurance. They cannot accept Ambetter, Medicaid, Tricare, Molina Healthcare, EPO plans, or any Scott & White. They do not provide the high-dose formula for seniors. Children must be at least 8 years old and have had a flu shot before. Their discounted cash pay price for quadrivalent flu shots (all four strains) is $50 (instead of $60+ at the pharmacy), and TDAP is $80. Vitamin B12 shots are $25 and Lipotropic shots are $35. There is already a full dose of B12 in the Lipotropic shot so you do not need both. They will also have Vitamin D shots available for $25. Vitamin injections are not covered by insurance, however, they accept cash, debit/credit cards and FLEX/HSA cards. Additional information regarding the flu shot can be found on the CDC website.
