Spectrum Health is offering flu shots at convenient times and places throughout West Michigan. You can make an appointment with your Spectrum Health Medical Group primary care provider or stop by one of five urgent care locations in the Grand Rapids area. The vaccine will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.
Cost, Payment and Insurance Options
The cost of this year's flu vaccine injection is $30 at urgent care locations. Cash, checks and credit cards can be used at Spectrum Health Medical Group offices and urgent care centers. All locations can bill a number of insurance programs. Some insurance companies cover some or all of the cost of the vaccine.
Who Should Get the Flu Vaccine?
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone older than 6 months be vaccinated for the flu. CDC is encouraging people to be vaccinated as soon as the vaccine is available, as this is the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease.
