Fall influenza "Flu" vaccines...

9/3/2017

0 Comments

 
It’s “flu” season and the Lake County Public Health Division is happy to announce its community influenza vaccination clinic schedule.
Getting vaccinated is a great way to avoid getting the flu.  Anyone 6 months of age or older is encouraged to get a flu vaccine.  Being careful to use good hygiene is another way to protect yourself and those around you.  If you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or the crook of your arm instead of your hands.  A virus can easily be passed from your hands to the things you touch.  Wash your hands often and use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water aren’t available.  Try not to touch your face with your hands.  A virus can enter your system through the membranes of your eyes, nose and mouth.  Protect yourself by avoiding close contact with anyone who is sick.
 
Choosing a healthful lifestyle can also help to keep you well.  Getting enough sleep, eating nutritious foods, drinking plenty of water and staying physically active can help to maintain a healthy immune system.  Together, we can help to decrease the spread of influenza in our community.
 
The symptoms of the flu include a temperature of over 100 degrees F combined with a cough, sore throat, body aches, headache and a lack of energy.  If you are ill, stay home to keep from infecting others.   
 
Lake County Public Health is offering seasonal flu vaccines for $2. 
 
Scheduled clinics for the seasonal flu vaccines are as follows:
