State of Illinois employees will need to show state ID cards and state health insurance cards to receive vaccinations free of charge.

Each retiree must present a state health insurance card and another form of ID.

Dependents, spouses, contractual workers, survivors, consultants and students of state employees or retirees are not eligible for a free flu shot.

Additionally, employees who have opted out of health care sponsored insurance plans through the state are not eligible for a free flu shot through this program.

Employees who do not have State of Illinois insurance are encouraged to participate in the vaccination clinic and receive their flu shot for a nominal fee paid to Southern Seven Health Department at the time of service.
