New COVID-19 Booster and 65+ Flu Shots

WALK-IN ONLY

First District Health Unit now has flu vaccine for people 65 and older, as well as the new COVID-19 bivalent booster.

A special vaccination event is scheduled at the Minot office on a walk-in basis from 9:00am – 3:00pm on Friday, September 9; Monday, September 12; and Tuesday, September 13.  No appointment is needed.  The only flu vaccine currently available is specially formulated for people 65 and older.  To attend the flu clinic, enter through Door B and bring your insurance card.

COVID-19 vaccinations will also be available during this event, including the new bivalent COVID-19 booster.  The booster is authorized for people 12 years and older, and can be done at the same time as the flu shot.  The booster can be given at least two months after either completing the primary COVID-19 vaccination series or getting a previous booster.  People who recently had COVID-19 infection may consider waiting for 3 months from when their symptoms started or they tested positive.  Those with a current COVID-19 infection or positive test should wait to get vaccinated at least until their isolation period is over.

To get either the 65+ flu shot or the new COVID-19 booster in any other First District location, please call your local office for an appointment.

Flu vaccine for those 6 months through 64 years has not yet been received.   Please watch local news sources, fdhu.org, or social media for updates.
