Roll up your sleeves—it’s time to fight the flu!

The County will offer free flu shots to all employees starting this week. Shots will be offered at various worksites beginning Sept. 2 at the County Operations Center.

Your supervisor may approve reasonable County time for you to receive the flu shot. No appointment or pre-registration is necessary.  Just show up with your employee ID!

Immunization is the most effective way to fight influenza, according to Wilma J. Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. Everyone 6 months and older should get the vaccine every year. It is safe and effective.

The 2015 Flu Shot Schedule is available on the Benefits Division’s website.
