Nurses from the Floyd County Health Department will conduct influenza-specific immunization clinics at two locations over the next week and a half.
Today and Thursday, flu shots are available at the Jay C grocery store at 815 Highlander Point in Floyds Knobs — 1 to 3 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, said nurse Robin Lyons.
The 4-H Fairgrounds at 2818 Green Valley Road is the site of two more clinics. The health department will administer shots from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 7 and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 8.
Shots are available only to adults, at a cost of $20 cash, Lyons said; the effort is not affiliated with Medicare or Medicaid.
Children can get $5 flu shots at health department headquarters, 1917 Bono Road, from 8:30 to 11 a.m. any Tuesday or 1 to 3:30 p.m. any Wednesday. However, because of Election Day and the fairgrounds clinic, those children sessions are unavailable next week, Lyons said.
More than 100 county-government employees received shots at the City-County Building on Monday.
For questions about flu shots and other health issues, call the health department at 812-948-4726 or visit www.floydcountyhealthdept-in.com on the Web.
