Appointments Available for COVID and Flu Vaccines at Estes Park Health
Sept. 10, 2025: Estes Park Health announced today three upcoming COVID and flu vaccine clinics in September and October.
The community clinic dates are:
- Tuesday, Sept. 23, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Tuesday, Sept. 30, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Tuesday, Oct. 7, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Appointments are available every five minutes during the clinic hours. Appointments are for one person only; spouses and families should make sequential appointments if they come to the clinic together.
To schedule an appointment, call Clinic Registration at 970-586-2200. When scheduling the appointment, please let the scheduler know if you plan to get the flu, COVID or both vaccines. No other vaccines will be offered at these clinics.
Additional COVID and flu vaccine clinics will be scheduled in October with details forthcoming.
These clinics are established to provide a convenient option to help our community prevent the spread of these impactful respiratory conditions.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the flu vaccine prevents millions of illnesses and flu-related doctor’s visits each year in the U.S., yet only about half of Americans get an annual flu vaccine.
For people with chronic conditions, such as heart disease, lung disease and diabetes, contracting COVID and flu can lead to more serious complications. The CDC reports that multiple studies have shown a reduction in flu-related worsening of chronic conditions and a reduction in the risk of being admitted to an ICU with flu for those who have received a flu vaccination.
Flu vaccines are covered by insurance and the COVID vaccine is covered by most insurance. Medicare and Medicaid will pay for COVID vaccines. The vaccine for children ages six months to 18 years, however, is not yet available as the hospital waits for the guidelines from the CDC. This information is anticipated to be available by the end of September.
If using private insurance, please call your insurance company to see if they will cover the COVID vaccine before arriving at the hospital for your appointment. If your insurance company does not cover the COVID vaccine, the cost of the vaccine is $250. The hospital offers a 25% discount if the vaccine(s) are paid for on the same day as the vaccine clinic appointment.
For more information or if you have questions, please contact Clinic Registration at 970-586-2200. To schedule other vaccines, please schedule a nurse visit or contact your primary care physician’s office for an appointment.
