Board reports low but present flu activity; flu shots available
Loading...
Summary
Staff reported relatively low influenza activity, announced available flu vaccines and a clinic planned after a COVID clinic next week, and invited residents to contact the health office to schedule shots.
Board staff reported low but present influenza activity in the region and said the office still has some flu vaccine remaining. Staff announced a clinic will be held after a scheduled COVID clinic next week and encouraged residents who need a flu shot to contact the health office to schedule.
Why it matters: flu vaccination reduces severe illness and limits hospitalizations; the board said unvaccinated people have been sicker in recent cases and urged residents to seek vaccination through the town clinic or their providers.
Next steps: staff will run the announced clinic and post scheduling information via the office; no policy action was taken.
