Flu

Overview

Influenza (flu)

County Health is urging everyone over the age of 6 months to get a flu shot to protect themselves and their loved ones. The best way to reduce your risk from seasonal flu and its potentially serious complications is to get vaccinated every year. The flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine can be administered at the same time.

Older adults, pregnant women, young adults, children, and people with other underlying health conditions are most at risk of getting the flu, but everyone six months and older should get vaccinated.

It takes two weeks after being immunized to be fully protected, so it’s best not to delay getting a shot.

You can get flu shots from:

  • Your primary health care provider
  • Retail pharmacies and stores, with information and appointments available on MyTurn 

Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. There are other viruses that can cause these symptoms, but a high fever and bad cough usually indicate flu.

Vaccine Clinics for Uninsured Individuals 

Everyone 6 months and older should be vaccinated.

The following vaccines will be available unless otherwise noted below: flu, high dose flu vaccine for adults 65 years and older, COVID-19 for people 12 years and older without insurance.

No appointment, ID, or health insurance is needed. Insured individuals can get the vaccine from their health care provider or pharmacy. Clinic info  is subject to change. 

Residents who are homebound and whose health care provider does not offer in-home vaccination may call Aging and Disability Services at 844-868-0938 to learn more and register for an appointment.
