Health Department extends flu shot hours

The Dubois County Health Department is extending its hours to provide pediatric and adult influenza vaccine on Wednesday, October 19th and November 2nd from 8-11am and 1-5:30pm.  Flu vaccine is also available daily from 8-11am and 1-3pm.

The nasal vaccine is not available.

Private Insurance, Medicaid and Medicare Part B are being accepted as a method of payment.  All insurance cards must be presented at the time of service

By far, the single best way to prevent the flu is for individuals to get a vaccination each fall.  Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine.  Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body about two weeks after vaccination.
