Flu shots offered Monday at reduced cost

An ounce of prevention, or rather, a shot of flu prevention will be offered on campus at a reduced cost next week.

Winnebago County Public Health has an excess of flu shots and will run a discount clinic from 11 a.m. to noon Monday, Nov. 29, in the Atrium. Shots will cost $15, reduced from the normal $25.

The cost is not covered by Waldorf College’s medical insurance because Winnebago County Public Health is not an in-network provider, said Dawn Ramaker, payroll and benefits coordinator at Waldorf College. 

But employees who are participating in a flexible spending plan (Advantage Administrators, previously RD Drenkow) can submit a receipt as a qualified reimbursable expense, Ramaker said.

The health department also offered flu shots on campus in October.
