ARC continues to order the maximum allowed by Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). If you or your child fall into one of the categories listed above, please check our flu clinic schedule before you call for an appointment.
For further questions, please use our contact form on the web site. We can usually respond within 24-48 hours. Due to the high degree of illness in the community, we ask you to help keep our phone lines free for patients who need to contact their physicians for appointments and other medical reasons.
The H1N1 Vaccine is provided to ARC free of charge by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). ARC will charge an administration fee, which in most cases is covered by your health plan. You may have to pay a copay for the visit. If you have any questions about your coverage, please check with your health plan.
