ITD Wellness Program organizes flu shot clinics statewide

ITD plans to launch a preemptive strike against seasonal flu by offering employees and their family members a series of clinics statewide. The first clinic was offered this week at District 3 in Boise.

An Oct. 11 flu shot clinic is planned for Headquarters. Employees can sign up online for that clinic. The flu shots will be given in the Darrell V Manning Boardroom and Auditorium.

Those who want shots should take their insurance card to the clinic. There will be NO upfront cost for the flu shot. Your insurance will be billed directly.

People not covered by insurance may register for a flu shot at a cost of $25, to be paid at the clinic by cash or check. ITD employees who don’t have insurance but get their flu shot at the ITD clinic may submit paperwork for reimbursement from the ITD Wellness Program. Information on how to process your reimbursement will be available at the clinic.

Registrants must be 18 years of age or older. Nasal Flu Mist will not be available at the clinic.

Other flu shot clinics scheduled are Thursday (Sept. 27) in Coeur d’Alene; Oct. 11 in Pocatello; and Oct. 16, in Shoshone. Clinic dates have not been confirmed yet for districts 2 and 6.

In addition to the flu shot clinic, mammography clinics are set for ITD staff and family members at Headquarters. To make an appointment for the on-site screening or to obtain more information, contact St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center at 706-2055.

The screenings at Headquarters will be Monday, Nov. 5, and Tuesday, Dec. 4.
