The best place to get a flu shot is at your family physician's office. But the shots, which are in most cases covered fully by insurance, are also being offered at local pharmacies.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a website, Healthmap Vaccine Finder, at
http://flushot.healthmap.org. The site allows users to type in a location and find where flu shots are offered within a 10- to 50-mile radius.Here's a partial list from the Healthmap website. It's best to call ahead to make sure the pharmacy has enough vaccine.CARBON COUNTY• Rite Aid, 601 Delaware Ave., Palmerton (610-826-2600)• Rite Aid, 200 S.
