Public Health shares COVID-19 and flu vaccine updates

Beginning in November, Henry County Public Health will only be giving the COVID-19 vaccines on Thursdays. November 3rd and 17th will be from 9-5:30 and November 10th will be from 9-3:30. We do have the new COVID-19 bivalent boosters which protect against both the original COVID-19 strain and the more recent omicron variants. Anyone age 5 or older is eligible as long as it’s been at least 2 months from either your last dose in your primary series or your most recent booster. There is no cost for any of the COVID-19 vaccines.

Flu shots are available during those November COVID-19 clinics as well as during regular immunization clinic hours on Tuesdays 9-11 and Wednesdays 1-4. The cost is $40 unless we can bill your insurance. Unfortunately we are out of the high dose flu shots for the year.

If you or someone you know is homebound, Public Health staff will come to your home to give both the flu and COVID-19 vaccine. Just call 319-385-0779 to make an appointment.

Public Health will be closed for holidays on November 11th, 24th and 25th. For the latest updates visit HealthyHenryCounty.org/covid, call 319-385-0779, or follow Facebook.com/HealthyHenryCounty
