I am a RN and work in a hospital. I think a flu shot clinic would protect my home town from a flu epidemic. The population is approx 600 people. Do you have to be someone special to order flu shots from wherever they come from. How do the clinics and hospitals and health departments get the shots? Do you have to pay for them? How much does a flu shot cost.? I get them free at my place of employment.

Judith, I am an RN x 12 years in the Oncology field and was actually informed by a nurse I had to get a flu shot in October mandatory because I work in a high risk area as well as a TB test etc......A doctor did not order it. I also have been vaccinated for hepatitis B, and a doctor did not order it. You are one of those crazy people who thinks doctors own the world.

Find out where the hospital gets the shots. Also, check with the hospital who's in charge of public health (or the closest proximity) in the town government.

You'd have to be a doctor to order them, since they are prescription. You should know this if you really ARE a RN.
