Flu season is right around the corner. Don’t let the bug get you. PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center is offering flu shots for $25. This flat fee is for either the quadrivalent flu vaccine, which protects against four flu viruses, or the high-dose vaccine for those over 65.

To make an appointment for a flu shot, call 360-378-2141. You may schedule an appointment for as early as Monday, October 3. Appointments will continue to be available Monday through Friday until January 1. Walk-ins are welcomed on Thursdays.
