North Oaks Health System wants to help you beat the flu with a “little
stick” this year. Flu vaccines are now available at North Oaks Walk-In
Clinics in Hammond, Ponchatoula and Walker, and no appointment is necessary.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), getting
vaccinated every year is the single best way to protect against the flu virus.
Individuals with chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, diabetes
and lung disease, are at greater risk of getting the flu and should be
vaccinated. Vaccination is especially important for pregnant women, senior
adults, young children and those who live with or care for high-risk individuals.
Flu shots are available for children and adults, ages 9 years and older.
The cash price is $32, and cash, checks, credit cards and most insurances
are accepted. For clinic locations and hours of operation,
