Many au pairs and host families are looking for places to get flu shots this time of year. Au Pair\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>insurance does not cover immunizations, but there are lots of places to get flu shots for $35 or less.\u00a0 If the host family is insisting that an au pair get a seasonal flu shot and she agrees to get it, the host family would be responsible for the expense.<\/p>\n

If you are planning to get the seasonal flu vaccine, it is recommended that you get it as early as possible.<\/p>\n

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has extensive info available online – Key Factors About Seasonal Flu Vaccine.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Calvert County Health Department\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Free, by appointment beginning in October. Free clinics, including two drive thru options as advertised online – Flu Shot Clinics<\/a>. Advanced registration is encouraged.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charles County\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0 Adult immunization services<\/a> are offered by appointment. Cost varies. Call 301-609-6900.<\/span><\/p>\n

St. Mary’s County Health Department\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Currently no announced free clinics. Visit their website<\/a> for the most up to date info.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Flu shots are also available for a fee<\/strong> at pharmacies such as Target<\/a>, CVS<\/a>, Rite Aid<\/a>, Walgreens<\/a>, Safeway<\/a>, Costco<\/a>, etc. Click the individual<\/span> store for a link to each website.Several offer the option to schedule an appointment and download and print forms to complete ahead of time.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Your health insurance DOES NOT<\/span> cover preventative care. If you choose a place like Target that advertises “free” or even a $5 coupon, they will bill your insurance and it will be denied, leaving you with the financial responsibility. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

ALWAYS discuss the out of pocket cost. Tell them you DO NOT<\/span> have medical insurance coverage for preventative care. The cost will vary between $20-50 typically.
