Vaccines will be free to CHIP and Medicaid recipients and will cost $10 for children and $35 for adults without insurance. The clinics will accept private insurance from Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, Cigna, or Aetna.
There are multiple opportunities for families to get the flu vaccine at our district and area clinics:
You may also be able to get vaccinations through your personal health care provider.
Join us at the #ChooseGarlandISD Expo to find the right fit for your student.
