Seniors Flu Vaccination Clinic Today

The Effingham County Health Department will hold a Seniors Drive-Through Flu Vaccination Clinic today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Only the high dose senior flu vaccination will be available at this drive-through clinic. Masks are required. Please wear short sleeved shirts and no coat in the car so it is easier to receive your shot. Have your insurance card and license out for ECHD employees to scan. The Effingham County Health Department is located at 901 W. Virginia Avenue in Effingham.

In addition to getting your flu vaccine, the Health Department recommends following the 3 W’s for both COVID-19 and influenza. - Wash your hands - Watch your distance - Wear your mask. 

Many of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are the same, such as fever and cough, but there are some differences. If you have symptoms of either flu or COVID-19, self-isolate and contact a health care provider.  They can talk with you about testing and other measures you should be taking.
