  • Health care and emergency medical services personnel who have direct contact with patients or infectious material
  • Children aged 6 months-4 years
  • Children and adolescents aged 5-18 years who have chronic medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza-related complications

Please call (920) 445-7313 or call your regular Bellin Health Family Medical Center to schedule an appointment. Vaccine supplies are limited and will be dispensed by appointment only and on a first-come, first-served basis.
