Public Health Kellie Coffey, Public Information Officer Ph: 828-695-5772 Kelly Isenhour, Assistant Health Director Ph: 828-695-5177 Catawba County Public Health Announces Upcoming Flu Clinics Catawba County Public Health is once again encouraging everyone to arm themselves against the flu by receiving a flu vaccine this year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends flu vaccination for everyone ages 6 months and older. The 2010-11 flu vaccine will protect against 2009 H1N1, and two other influenza viruses (an H3N2 virus and an influenza B virus). For most people that means that only one vaccine will be required as compared to last year in which the H1N1 vaccine was separate from the seasonal flu vaccine. As usual, children under 9 who have never received a flu vaccine will require two doses. Beginning October 4th, Catawba County Public Health will be operating walk in flu clinics at their location behind Catawba Valley Medical Center. The clinics will run Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Appointments will only be needed for children ages 6 months to 35 months and can be made by calling the main number at 695-5800. Flu shots will be $20 and pneumonia shots are offered for $52. Adults with Medicare Part B (only) and children who are Medicaid eligible or uninsured will receive free vaccine. There will also be community flu clinics held in an effort to reach all areas of the county. “This year we strategically placed our community flu clinics in different regions of Catawba County to ensure that it would be convenient for everyone who wanted to get a flu vaccine to do so,” explained Sara Jamieson, Community Health Assistant Manager for Catawba County Public Health. The community flu clinics will be held in October and November and are open to the public. The clinic dates are: October: Thursday 7th Friday 8th Friday 15th Wednesday 20th Thursday 28th Saturday 30th
8:00 a.m. to Noon 8:00 a.m. to Noon 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
