Public Health shares February vaccine clinic schedule

Henry County Public Health is continuing their walk-in COVID-19 vaccine clinic schedule in February. Clinics will be held at the Public Health office on Wednesdays from 1-3:30pm, Thursdays from 9am-3:30pm, and on the 1st and 3rd Thursday from 9am-5:30pm. Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J vaccines will be available for anyone age 5 and older. Booster shots are recommended for anyone age 12 and older if it has been at least 5 months since your 2nd shot of Moderna or Pfizer, or at least 2 months since your J&J shot.

The COVID-19 vaccines continue to be highly effective in reducing risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death. Over 251 million people in the U.S. have already received at least one dose and over half of Henry County is fully vaccinated. Getting yourself and your children vaccinated will protect family members and friends, especially those who may be at high risk.

Flu shots will also be given during the February clinic times for $35 unless they can bill your insurance. Public Health is located at 106 N. Jackson St. in Mt. Pleasant. Masks are encouraged, they ask that you limit additional family members not receiving vaccines, and please stay home if you or your child are sick.
