Free Flu Shots Available at County Worksites

/

The Department of Human Resources has coordinated with our healthcare provider to offer free influenza vaccinations to County employees at various worksites beginning Sept. 26 through Oct. 10.   

Flu shots will be offered to walk-ins, however, appointments are highly encouraged. View the schedule and make an appointment now.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against flu viruses.  

In addition to getting vaccinated, people should also do the following to avoid getting sick: 

  • Wash hands thoroughly and often 

  • Use hand sanitizers 

  • Stay away from sick people 

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth 

  • Clean commonly touched surfaces 

  • If you are sick, stay home and avoid contact with others 

  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing or coughing. If you don’t have a tissue sneeze or cough into your elbow.

Please note:  Appointments at secured locations are limited to staff with access to the work site. (This includes the Psychiatric Hospital and Sheriff Department locations.)
