Dr. Adewale Troutman, director of Louisville's Metro Public Health and Wellness department, says everyone aged 6 months and up is being urged to get a flu shot.

A news release from the department says this year's flu vaccine will protect against the H1N1 as well as two other seasonal flu viruses, all in a single shot.

Immunizations cost $25 for the shot and $30 for the nasal mist, but no one will be turned away because of inability to pay.

In addition, free immunizations will be given to children in Jefferson County Public Schools in which 80 percent or more of the students receive free or reduced-price lunches.
