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.

Toll prices will fluctuate depending on traffic density. If toll lanes are crowded, prices will keep rising until enough motorists decide to remain in the slower lanes. The aim is to give motorists a way to travel quickly, but only if they are willing to pay for it — an idea that has stirred controversy.

Board chair: Parks district best solution for New Albany and Floyd County
Mayor Jeff Gahan’s veto of a new parks deal between the city and county was upheld earlier this month by the New Albany City Council. While the Floyd County Council agreed to still pay an additional $100,000 toward the parks department for the remainder of the year, the city and county remain under a prior agreement that led to funding discrepancies in the past.
