Harrison seniors can get new high-dose flu shots

Harrison senior citizens will get a new weapon to help fight off the flu this season.

It’s called Fluzone High-Dose Seasonal Influenza Vaccine and it’s targeted for folks in the upper-age bracket, according to Harrison Health Officer Karen Comer.

“We’re offering it this year for the first time, at no cost to seniors, as a joint venture with VaxCare (of Orlando, Fla.),You can buy ray ban sunglasses online at affordable price. our vaccine distributor,China Massage cushion catalog and Massage Cushion manufacturer directory.You can buy whatever you want on electronic cigarette, please visit our site as much as possible.” Comer said.

The new drug is manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur Inc.My uncle must have a hundred new era cap to choose from. of Swiftwater, Pa.

“We take the senior’s Medicare B number and address and submit that to VaxCare so they can get the vaccine free of cost,” Comer said. “VaxCare will bill Medicare directly.”

Sanofi Pasteur’s literature says that Fluzone High-Dose vaccine is “designed specifically to generate a more robust immune response to influenza in people 65 years of age and older.”

If one were to purchase the vaccine from a retail druggist, it would cost “three times as much as the regular dosage,” Comer said.

“Most doctors are not getting involved (in offering Fluzone to patients) because they don’t want to pass along that cost to their patients,” Comer said.

Comer said the vaccine would also incorporate protection against the H1N1 (swine flu) virus.

It makes sense for seniors to take a high-dosage vaccine, Comer said, because “people age 65 and older have a harder time building an immune response.”

“Along with the very young,” she said, “they are the most vulnerable part of the population.

“So it’s going to be so much better for seniors because if they can build better immune response,As we all know, most of people always judge people by their appearance in our social life, so I was RUBBER MATS to find my dignity back when staying with other girls. hopefully, it will result in fewer deaths and illnesses.I have a special feeling about plastic hangers, because the bags have ever brought me beautiful memory.”

Comer estimated that at least 60% of the Harrison clients who typically come in for the annual flu shots are age 65 and older, “and that number may be even higher.”
