NAHUNTA – The Brantley Health Department will host a drive-up flu vaccination clinic Thursday, October 8 at 173 Florida Avenue.
The event, scheduled from from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., offers residents a safe, quick, and convenient way to protect themselves and their loved ones from the flu this season.
“Getting your flu shot is one of the best ways to keep yourself, your family, and your community healthy,” said Synita Mathis, Immunization Coordinator for the Southeast Health District. “Our drive-up clinics make it easier than ever to roll up your sleeve without even leaving your car.” A yearly flu vaccine is the first line of defense against the flu and is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for everyone age 6 months and older.
Vaccination is especially important for certain high-risk groups, including young children, pregnant women, adults aged 65 and older, and individuals with chronic health conditions (e.g., asthma, diabetes, or heart disease).
If you are unable to make the drive-up event, don’t worry. Immunizations are available as a walk-in service at all health departments within the district.
Bring a form of identification and insurance card (if you have coverage) when you come to receive a flu vaccine.
