Board approves $5 increase for high‑dose influenza vaccine
Summary
The Vernon County Board of Health voted unanimously Oct. 9 to raise the high‑dose influenza vaccine fee from $65 to $70 for the 2024–25 season; the regular seasonal vaccine fee remains $30.
The Vernon County Board of Health voted Oct. 9 to increase the high‑dose influenza vaccine fee to $70 for the 2024–25 season. Health Officer Amy Kleiber told the board rising wholesale costs prompted the request; the regular seasonal vaccine fee will remain $30.
Martha Olson moved to approve the price change and David Eggen seconded. The board recorded "all ayes" and the motion carried. The department presented the change as an operational decision to offset increased vaccine purchase costs for the season; Kleiber indicated the change applies to the high‑dose product only and is limited to this influenza season.
The decision was made as part of routine business and will take effect for the current season. The board did not amend other vaccine fees at the meeting.
