Seasonal Flu Shots

Talks about seasonal flu shots offered countywide.

This fall, avoiding influenza (flu) should be a top priority. “The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is by getting this year’s flu shot,” said Dr. Eric Frykman, County Health Officer.
This year the H1N1 flu vaccine has been combined with the seasonal flu vaccine, so only one shot is needed.
Annual flu shots are recommended for everyone over the age of six months.
The flu vaccine is especially important for: pregnant women, children younger than 5 years of age, people 50 years of age and older, people of any age with chronic medical conditions, people who live in nursing homes and other long-term facilities, Health care workers, household contacts and home caregivers for high risk individuals.

Flu shots are available at all ten County Family Care Centers. Walk-in flu clinic hours are 8 – 11:30 a.m. and 1 – 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. No appointment needed. There is no cost for the flu shots at the Family Care Centers, though donations are accepted.
