The El Dorado County Health and Human Services Agency, Public
Health Nursing will begin conducting low-cost community flu vaccination clinics
on September 28, 2016, with additional clinics offered through mid-November. Seasonal
influenza vaccine will be available in flu shot form at the clinics.
“Everyone six months of age or older should get a flu vaccine
each year for the best protection against the flu,” said Lynnan Svensson, Nursing
Program Manager with Public Health. “It is especially important to vaccinate high-risk
people, such as children under age five, people 65 years and older, pregnant
women and people with chronic diseases like asthma, diabetes or heart and lung
disease. It is also critical for health care workers and people taking care of high-risk
persons to be immunized.”
The cost per vaccine is $10, but no one will be denied service
due to inability to pay; cash or check accepted. Parents should bring their
child’s immunization records. Updated information on the community flu clinics
will be posted to www.edcgov.us/publichealth and on the County
Flu Hotline at (530) 621-6188.
