Fronske H1N1/Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Information
The Fronske Health Center no longer has seasonal flu vaccine available.
Coconino County Health Department has received a limited supply of seasonal flu vaccine for specific high-risk groups. Call the CCHD Flu Information Line at 928-679-7300, toll-free at 1-877-679-7272 or go to www.coconino.az.gov/health for more information about appointments, high-risk criteria and availability.
The Coconino County Health Department has released a very limited number of doses of H1N1 vaccine to Fronske Health Center. We have both the LAIV “Flumist” and the inactivated “Flushot.” Because we have been supplied with a greater number of “Flumist,” those medically eligible to receive the mist will be requested to do so. We have been notified by the county health department that we may now administer the vaccination to the first two priority groups:
- Pregnant Women
- All people age 24 and younger
- People 25-64 years with a chronic medical condition
- chronic lung disease (including asthma)
- other chronic diseases: heart, kidney, liver, cognitive, neurological, neuromuscular, blood or metabolic (including diabetes)
- chronic or acute compromised immune system
- People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months
- All health care and emergency services personnel
- NAU Police Department officers
If you are a patient that fits one or more of these criteria you may get your H1N1 vaccination by going to the Fronske Nurses Station during open immunization hours. We are unable to administer the vaccination if you do not meet the above criteria. More information about open vaccinations will be made available as soon as we receive information from the Coconino County Health Department.
Open Immunization Hours are:
- Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday - 8:00 am – 11:30 am and 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
- Wednesdays - 9:00 am – 11:30 am and 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Fronske Health Center will be closed Thursday, November 26, 2009 and Friday, November 27, 2009 in observance of Thanksgiving Holiday.
There will be no direct patient cost for the vaccination, however if you have Blue Cross, Aetna or United Healthcare your insurance will be billed for an administration fee with no out of pocket cost.
