Don't get the flu, get the flu vaccine! Community Health and Kossuth Regional Health Center have many opportunities for you to receive your flu vaccine this fall.
Community Health provides child and adolescent immunizations throughout Kossuth County for newborns through 18 years of age. In flu season Community Health provides the flu shot and FluMist for all ages, including adults. Last couple years we have not done pneumonia; too many people could not remember if they had one in the past.
Vaccines for Children

Community Health is required to abide by certain requirements in order to give children and adolescents their vaccines. These requirements are as follows:
- Vaccine available to newborns to those 18 years of age

If you have insurance, please contact your insurance company to determine if your insurance covers immunizations or includes them under the category of preventative care. If insurance will pay, please call your health care provider's office to receive vaccinations.
