Other hospital systems provide walk-in flu vaccine services. Baylor Scott & White Health<\/a> offers this service<\/a> at their main hospital in the Medical District.<\/p>\n Texas Health Resources also offers walk-in flu vaccines through their Faith Community Nursing program. The 23-year initiative goes into underserved communities and places pop-up clinics in faith centers. Last year, the program organized 108 clinics and provided nearly 4,300 flu shots.<\/p>\n The program started in September but ramps up in October with several locations served a week.<\/p>\n Since the program started, Texas Health has worked with 120 faith communities, said Caryn Paulos, director of Faith Community Nursing. She said it\u2019s important to meet people in spaces where they feel comfortable, like religious centers, to provide a service that truly matters.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople traditionally think of hospitals as a place where sick people are, but Texas Health is out in the community, and the flu vaccines are just one way that we can keep people healthy that isn\u2019t in a hospital,\u201d Paulos said.<\/p>\n JPS Health Network<\/a> and Medical City Fort Worth<\/a> also administer the vaccine for established hospital patients. Local and national pharmacies also generally administer the flu vaccine, but make sure to contact the pharmacy before going to confirm availability and to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n The majority of insurance plans and Medicare cover flu shots completely, meaning nothing comes out-of-pocket for the patient.\u00a0<\/p>\n For people without insurance, the out-of-pocket cost usually ranges from $20 to $130, depending on factors such as age and local administrative fees. Local hospital systems like JPS may have programs available for people experiencing financial hardship.<\/p>\n Ismael M. Belkoura is the health reporter for the Fort Worth Report.
