Driving flu shots and COVID-19 testing for residents of four counties
There are more driving flu vaccination and COVID-19 testing events for Quad-County residents this week. For convenience, CCHHS is responsible for billing most insurance. For the uninsured, we charge an administration fee of $ 20; however, no one will be refused for inability to pay. CCHHS is not under contract with Tricare or the unions. The tests are free; first come, first served, no appointment or reservation.

CCHHS will continue to offer combined flu shot and COVID-19 screening events for residents of Quad County throughout November. Go here to see a list of events in November.

The hotline is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The change is needed to manage the volume of calls regarding questions about COVID and the number of people interested in being tested. CCHHS will continue to offer testing to residents of Quad-County with and without symptoms.
