“This flu season is going to be more challenging than ever due to the added risk of COVID-19 in the community,” said Health Department Administrator Becky Barnes. “Not only is the flu vaccine one of your best protections against the flu, but the steps we are already taking to prevent COVID-19, such as wearing a mask, social distancing, washing hands, and staying home if you’re sick, will also help prevent catching or spreading the flu.”

The Health Department will open additional flu vaccination clinics as more supplies become available. Flu vaccines are also currently available through doctors’ offices and retail pharmacies.
