The Health Department will continue to provide seasonal flu vaccines for $10 as part of the regularly scheduled immunization clinic held from 2 to 5 p.m. every Tuesday at 137 N. Cottonwood St.
Those unable to pay for a flu vaccine will not be turned away.
In addition to getting a flu shot, everyone should also follow these simple steps to avoid the flu:
n Wash hands often with soap and water.
n Regularly clean commonly-touched surfaces, i.e. countertops, doorknobs, telephones etc.
n Don't share cups, straws or anything that goes in the mouth.
n Cover nose and mouth when you cough and sneeze, and promptly discard used facial tissues.
n If you are sick, stay home.
n Getting enough rest and staying physically fit to help the body fight off disease.
n Not smoking and reducing your exposure to secondhand smoke.
