Henry County Public Health is updating details for receiving flu and COVID-19 vaccines. The flu vaccine is now available on a walk-in basis during regular immunization clinics: Tuesdays 9-11am, Wednesdays and Thursdays 1-4pm, and the 1st and 3rd Thursday 1-6pm. All regular vaccines remain available during those clinic times also. The flu vaccine is $35 unless they can bill your insurance so bring your insurance card. Public Health asks that you check-in online before you come if you are able to by visiting HealthyHenryCounty.org/immunizations. They will alert you when it is time to come inside to reduce waiting room traffic.
Public Health also continues to give the Moderna and J&J COVID-19 vaccine to anyone 18 and older at no cost. Booster shots for those vaccines have not yet been approved by the CDC so these are only 1st and 2nd doses. For now, these vaccines are available on a walk-in basis Monday – Friday 8am-3:30pm. However, once the CDC approves the Moderna or J&J booster shots, all COVID-19 vaccines will switch to be on an appointment basis at off-site clinics. There is no waiting list for the booster shots. Watch for updates and links to the online sign-ups at HealthyHenryCounty.org/covid or Facebook.com/HealthyHenryCounty.
Public Health is located at 106 N. Jackson St. in Mt. Pleasant. Masks are required, they ask that you limit additional family members not receiving vaccines, and please stay home if you or your child are sick. They have a small waiting room, so these safety measures are in place to protect everyone coming to Public Health. For more information or if you have questions call Public Health at 319-385-0779.
