Unfunded vaccinations are available for purchase for those that do not meet the criteria for a funded vaccine. The cost is $36. If you wish to book or discuss this option further, please call your suite.
- A reminder that you can book a covid vaccination at any time in the suites.
- You can book both the Flu and Covid combination, but this must be done in the suite – as you will need to be monitored for a period of time following your Covid Vaccination.
