Tarrant County offering free flu shots for uninsured

preview

Those who live in Tarrant County now have no excuse not to get their annual flu shot.The county is partnering with Albertsons/Tom Thumb and Kroger to provide free flu shots to those who do not have health insurance."People who are insured typically can go to any location (such as) a pharmacy and get their free flu shot, because it's covered by insurance," says Tarrant County Public Health Director Vinny Taneja. "But people that are uninsured, a lot of times they go in only to find out that they've got out pay out of pocket anywhere between $25 to $50 for the vaccine."Taneja says with flu activity traditionally picking up after Thanksgiving, they didn't want anything to stand in anyone's way of getting a flu shot, especially amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic."The idea is that with COVID-19 out there, the healthcare systems are getting burdened," says Taneja, "and we didn't want to have a flu problem as well."The initiative is a public-private partnership."We're paying about $25 per dose administered, and they've got some skin in the game as well -- if it's going to cost more, they're going to come out of pocket on that too," Taeja says.The free flu shots will be offered through Dec. 30.The stores offering free flu shots to those without health insurance are as follows:Albertsons:4000 Glade Rd., Colleyville1155 N Main St., Euless3563 Alton Rd., Fort Worth1300 Airport Fwy., Bedford6220 U.S. Hwy. 287, Arlington1201 N.
