| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM: Shelly Pauling, Education & Communications Manager RE: 2006 Flu Clinics DATE: October 6, 2006 Flu clinics have been scheduled for the 2006 flu season. Again this year, the Redwood Area Hospital and Redwood County Public Health are working together to provide flu clinics for adults in the surrounding communities. This year all four of the flu clinics offered will be open to all adults 18 years old and older. If you are 18 years or older and would like to receive a flu shot from one of our upcoming clinics, we will be in or near your town on one of the following dates: October 17, 2006 from 1:30pm-5:00pm at the Redwood Area Hospital Education Room; October 26, 2006 from 2:30pm-4:30pm at the Wabasso Community Center; November 1, 2006 from 1pm-2:30pm at Country View Senior Living Community; and November 8, 2006 from 2:30pm-5:00pm at the Redwood Area Hospital Education Room. You do not have to make an appointment to receive a flu shot. Insurance claims will be filed for individuals with participating health plans. Please bring your Medicare/insurance cards with you. Flu clinic information can also be found on our website at www.redwoodareahospital.org. The Minnesota Department of Health recommends that you should get a flu shot every year because there are many different strains of flu every year. Even if there are delays or difficulties in getting the vaccine, getting your flu shot is very important because people can die from the flu or from its complications. Flu vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective and you cannot get the flu from the flu shot. However, if you are exposed later to someone with the flu, you may get a milder case than if you had not gotten your flu shot If you would like more information about our upcoming flu clinics, please call Shelly Pauling at 507-637-4527. Protect yourself and the loved ones around you; get a flu shot. . . and bring a friend! |
