Holy Rosary Healthcare Clinic's express service will cost $15. After Oct. 21, flu shots will be available, but not as an express service. Children 9 to 18 years old must have a written prescription and parental consent. Children under 9 must get flu shots from their own physician. Pregnant women must also have a written prescription from their physician.
