McHenry County Department of Health will provide a walk-in flu clinic for adults and children aged 9 and over at Woodstock Public Library, 414 West Judd Street, on Monday, November 22 from 3pm-6pm. No appointments are needed. The cost is $30. Medicaid and Medicare Part B accepted.
With families gathering for the holidays, now is the best time to create a “circle of protection” around yourself and your family by getting a flu shot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the vaccine for anyone over 6 months of age. Even healthy adults 19 through 24 years of age should get vaccinated so flu isn’t spread to those at high risk for complications such as grandparents, younger siblings or those with health conditions like asthma or diabetes.
Flu is a serious and contagious illness. Get your flu shot now so you don’t get sick and miss out on holiday festivities. To reduce the spread of influenza, it is important to cover your cough, wash your hands and stay home if you’re sick.
