Doctors Immediate Care Offering Flu Shots for only $19.99 in Chicago-area Clinics

CHICAGO, Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Doctors Immediate Care is offering flu shots at a mere cost of $19.99 during the month of September, 2014 for everyone over 6 months of age for the best protection against the flu virus strains as the peak flu season is approaching.  For added convenience, no appointment is ever needed to the walk-in medical office located in Naperville, Lombard and Morton Grove available from 9:00AM-9:00PM on weekdays, and 10:00AM to 6:00PM on weekends and holidays.

CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in the United States has recommended flu shots for asthma and diabetic patients, chronic lung disease patients, pregnant women (it is really significant as it protects both the mother and her baby up to 6 months old from flu-related complications), children younger than 2 years and older adults above 65 years (high-dose flu vaccine, which contains four times the amount of antigen, is recommended in this case after talking to the health care provider, as they are more susceptible to the flu and tend to have a weaker immune system).  

"It is recommended to get the flu shot this year ideally before October for all individuals older than six months of age as soon as possible once it is available in their location, to protect themselves, their family and their loved ones from the highly dangerous and infectious flu virus as it takes a minimum of two weeks for the antibodies in vaccines to become effective after being administered for staying healthy apart from avoiding the spreading of the disease this flu season," says Dr. Humaira Syed, primary care physician at Doctors Immediate Care Inc.

Eligible patients are barred from paying the copayments unless stated otherwise as most of the insurance plans include flu shots as the preventive service. For more information, please visit: http://doctorsimmediatecare.com/flu-shots/
