Influenza (also known as “the flu”) is a highly contagious viral illness that affects people of all ages. Every year, millions of people become sick with the flu, with many cases leading to hospitalization and, in some instances, serious complications or death. One of the most effective steps you can take to protect yourself is to receive an annual flu vaccine. Staying up to date on your flu vaccination can help reduce your risk of infection and lower the chances of spreading the virus to family members, friends, and others in your community.
It typically takes about two weeks after vaccination for your body to develop protection against the flu. Because influenza viruses are constantly changing and circulating in different forms from year to year, annual vaccination is recommended to help maintain protection against the strains expected to be most common each flu season.

How to Prevent the Flu
Although there are several things you can do to reduce your risk of getting the flu, such as washing your hands frequently or avoiding direct contact with individuals who have the flu, one of the most effective ways to avoid the flu is to get a flu shot annually. Although getting a flu vaccine does not guarantee that you will avoid the flu completely, many times patients who do receive vaccines have a milder form and experience fewer complications from the flu than those who do not get vaccines.
Following your flu shot, you may experience muscle aches, headaches, and/or a low-grade fever as well as redness, tenderness, or soreness around the area of the shot. Sometimes people see these as indications that the flu shot is harmful or can even cause influenza. It is important to be aware that the flu vaccine only contains weakened or inactivated flu viruses, which are not capable of causing an infection, and receiving this vaccine is your best bet against avoiding the flu.

Affordable Flu Shots & Vaccines in Wake Forest & Raleigh
A visit to the hospital for a flu vaccine can cost a substantial amount of money and take much longer for you to receive the care you need. At Heritage Urgent & Primary Care, our board-certified providers can provide you with high-quality care in a timely and cost-effective manner. If you require health services and are concerned about the cost involved, please refer to the following overview of our clinic’s policies. If you have any additional questions concerning billing, insurance, and/or payment options, please contact our staff.
Understand Insurance and Medicare Medicaid
All visits are billed under Primary Care and Primary Care Copay. We accept Medicare and are in-network with most major insurance providers, and we are happy to provide you with a list of accepted providers to ensure you are covered. If co-payments are required by your insurance plan, this will need to be paid prior to your appointment, before check-in. If you are not able to pay your co-payment, it may be necessary to reschedule your appointment. It is also important to be aware that not all services are covered through insurance plans. If your insurance company determines that a service is not covered, it will be your responsibility to pay the remaining balance.
Out-of-Network and
Self-pay Accounts
If you are not covered by insurance, or if your provider is out of network, you will be responsible for the entire charge of the appointment. If you are not able to pay the full balance of your bill, please contact our billing office at 866-557-2612. We are committed to ensuring that you receive the care you need and will do our best to help set up a payment plan to cover the costs of your care.
Further Payment and
Insurance Information
You will need to provide your current insurance information and bring your insurance card with you to your first visit. We also ask that you bring your card to subsequent visits so we can update your records as needed. Our staff will also help ensure that you maximize your insurance benefits and will file your claims and provide any necessary information to your insurance company.
