HoCo Health District Promotes Flu Shots

Flu season is quickly approaching and the Houston County Health Department wants to remind you the key to not getting sick is prevention, and right now the clinic is fully stocked with the vaccine.

More than 200 people have already received it since the clinic started giving it out in August.

“It protects us from the illnesses that can occur along with the Flu that can be very serious or even fatal. So, it takes just a second. It doesn’t really hurt at all. It’s fast. It’s convenient, and it will really save a lot of problems and do a lot to protect and promote your health,” says Christina Sikes, RN.

Any business or church interested in having Houston County nurses come to them to administer the shot should call 218-2000.
