Fayette Health Department Offers Flu, Covid Vaccines, Free Covid Home Tests Fayette County Health De partment offers flu shots and the updated COVTD-19 vac cine to provide protection against two of the three respi ratory illnesses already cir culating this season, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health. Visit district4health.org/make-an- appointment to schedule your visit and learn more about which COVID-19 vaccine brand the health department currently offers for your age group. If you wish, you can schedule both vaccines for the same visit. You also may call (800) 847-4262 to make an appointment. The health de partment is located at 140 W. Stonewall Avenue, Suite 107, in Fayetteville. Recommended by the CDC for individuals six months of age and older, COVID and influenza vaccines are covered by many insur ance plans at no cost to the pa tient. For adults without health insurance coverage, a federal program will cover the cost of the COVID vaccine and administration fee. There is a $21.93 admin istration fee for the influenza vaccine for those who do not have insurance or are under insured. Vaccines For Chil- dren-funded COVID and influenza vaccines are avail able for those six months to 18 years old without health insur ance coverage. Unless covered by Medicaid, there is a $21.93 administration fee for those who receive the VFC-funded vaccine. District 4 health officials also encourage eligible older adults and pregnant women to talk with their primary doctor about getting the new FDA- approved RSV vaccine, which is available at select doctors’ offices and local pharmacies. It is important to get your vaccines as soon as possible to protect yourself and loved ones and to help prevent the spread of the viruses, espe cially before the holidays, ac cording to DPH officials. Flu and COVID vaccines cannot completely prevent someone from getting either vims. However, CDC data show vaccines are the key - especially for older adults and individuals with chronic health conditions - in reducing the risk of severe illness, long term effects, hospitalization, and death. Vaccination is particularly important for those at high risk of complications if they get sick, including adults 65 and older, children younger than five years, pregnant women, people with weak ened immune systems, and people with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease. Individuals can pick up a free COVID-19 rapid self-test in the front lobby of the health department as supplies re main available. Fayette Health Depart ment also offers covid PCR testing and rapid testing on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fri days each week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed noon to 1 p.m. for lunch). For an appoint ment, visit https://covid19.dph.ga.g0v/e n-US. In addition, each U.S. household may place a new order at special.usps.com/testkits for four free covid rapid self-tests delivered directly to your home.
