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 about $35, but there are free clinics through the health departments as well.<\/p>\n

If the host family is asking 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 \u2013 Key Factors About Seasonal Flu Vaccine.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Calvert County Health Department\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Free. The Calvert County Health Department is offering a FREE Community Flu Clinic on Saturday, October 15, 2022 from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm at the Fox Run location.<\/p>\n

Flu Shot Clinics<\/a>. Advanced registration is encouraged.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charles County\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0 Charles County Flu and Covid Vaccine Clinics<\/a> are offered by appointment. Cost varies. Call 301-609-6900. Please select NO insurance as your travel insurance does not cover preventative immunizations.<\/p>\n

St. Mary\u2019s County Health Department\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Drive thru clinics<\/a> will be held in November.<\/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 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><\/p>\n

Your health insurance DOES NOT cover preventative care. If you choose a place like Target that advertises \u201cfree\u201d or even a $5 coupon, they will bill your insurance and it will be denied, leaving you with the financial responsibility. <\/strong><\/p>\n

ALWAYS discuss the out of pocket cost. Tell them you DO NOT have medical insurance coverage for preventative care. The cost will vary between $20-50 typically. ***The advertisements for FREE will not apply to you because your medical insurance does not cover immunizations. ***
