Adults under 65 will receive a $30 quadrivalent vaccine and those 65 and over can get a $65 high-dose vaccine. Pay by cash, check, or credit card and you can use your receipt for reimbursement from your insurance carrier. If you are covered by Medicare Part B or a Medicare HMO accepted by FHN, there will be no out-of-pocket charge (please present Medicare card*). Of course, you can still get a flu shot from your provider (cost may vary from drive-thru prices).

BEST Inc. is partnering with Illinois Valley Community College, Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce, Northwest Illinois Economic Development and Rock Island Tri-County Consortium to deliver outreach to area businesses across all industry sectors within the 11-county area being served. Outreach will include making businesses aware of the benefits of sponsoring an apprenticeship program, including the positive return on investment, the process of developing an apprenticeship program, and linkage to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeships. “Thousands of occupations and companies have already benefited from the apprenticeship model and the state of Illinois is looking to expand those opportunities by another 800 apprentices over the course of the grant period,” according to a news release. Locally, the project looks to add 20 new registered apprentices along with five new programs. Nikelle Tellier will serve as the project manager and be responsible for coordinating efforts among the partnering entities.
