Flu Mist intranasal vaccine will be available for healthy children and adults ages 2-49 years old for the cost of $40. As flu mist is a live vaccine as opposed to the flu shot which is an inactivated vaccine, some people should not receive flu mist who can receive the flu shot. People who should not receive flu mist (but can receive the inactivated flu shot) include anyone with heart, lung, kidney or liver disease, diabetes, asthma, seizure disorder, cerebral palsy, anemia or has a weakened immune system. Also any child under the age of 5 who has had one or more episode of wheezing in the past year should have the flu shot instead of the flu mist. The flu shot is preferred for people in close contact with anyone who has a severely weakened immune system (such as a recent bone marrow transplant recipient).

Pneumonia shots are available $60.  Medicare Part B, Anthem/Empire BC/BS and Aetna will cover the cost.  Most people just need one dose of the pneumonia vaccine after turning 65. If you are at increased risk for pneumonia complications and over the age of 65 and have already had a pneumonia shot since turning 65, talk to your doctor about whether or not you need a second pneumonia shot.  NEW this year *it is now recommended that smokers and people with asthma ages 18 and older now receive one dose of the pneumococcal vaccine.
