No appointment is necessary for this drive-through clinic. Masks will be
required for any individual participating in the flu vaccination clinic.
Consent forms and Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) are available in both
English and Spanish on the SCHD-Immunizations webpage
<https://www.snco.us/HD/immunizations.asp> that can be printed off prior to
arrival. Consent and VIS forms will also be available onsite.



This year’s vaccination protects against 4 strains of seasonal flu. The flu
shot will cause antibodies to develop in the body after vaccination. These
antibodies provide protection against infection from the flu virus. CDC
recommends everyone 6 months and older be vaccinated against flu.



It continues to be extremely important to protect those at higher risk for
flu complications. Many of these people are also at high risk for COVID-19
illness or other serious outcomes.

It is also important for caregivers and essential workers to protect
themselves and those around them from flu by getting a flu vaccine.



For more information about getting a flu vaccine from the SCHD call
251-5700.
