Huron County, ON – Flu season is here again. In Huron County, you can get your free flu shot at a community clinic, your doctor’s office, or at the Health Unit. As well, people over 5 years of age can get the shot at one of 10 participating pharmacies.
“A flu shot is the best way to protect yourself and others against a serious infection,†says Public Health Nurse Susan Hart. “Remember to get your shot early. Your body takes two weeks to build full protection.â€Â
The Health Unit makes it easier for you to get your flu shot by offering two new services: An express line for parents with children at its drop-in community clinics and a drive-thru clinic for people with restricted mobility. The drive-thru clinic is October 26, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Health Unit office in Clinton. Make an appointment by phoning 519.482.3416 or 1.877.837.6143.
