Flu Clinics
Flu Facts
What is the flu?
Influenza (known commonly as the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. Infection with this
virus can cause illness resulting in mild to severe symptoms with life-threatening complications. An estimated 10-20% of the
U.S. population gets the flu each year, with an average of 114,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths.
Symptoms
Symptoms include fever (usually high), headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny and/or stuffy nose, and muscle aches.
Gastro-intestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are much more common in children than adults.
How is it spread?
The flu virus is spread from person to person through respiratory droplets by coughing or sneezing. It can also happen when
touching the hand of someone with these droplets present, and touching your own nose or mouth before washing your hands.
How can I prevent the flu?
The single best way to prevent the flu is through vaccination.
On-Site Flu Clinics
Flu Clinic Services
Each year Passport Health conducts on-site flu clinics for corporations, churches and schools. No clinic is too
large or too small for us. Our RN's will arrive early at your site, set up quickly, and start your clinic on time.
Our service is professional and courteous. We will never cancel a clinic due to lack of flu vaccine and our service
does not end with your on-site clinic. If someone misses the clinic, vouchers can be purchased so that person can receive
a shot at one of our other locations.
Scheduling
We schedule on a first come, first served basis, with our returning clients receiving our first consideration. The optimal time for scheduling
clinics is late September through December. We are anxious to accommodate your first choice for dates, so please call soon! 1-800-839-4007
Prices are available upon request! Due to the fact that there are Passport Health affiliates in major cities across the country, we
are happy to negotiate contracts on a nationwide basis.
"We don't just vaccinate, we educate."
