The Henry and Stark County Health Departments and First Choice Healthcare are offering this year’s seasonal flu shots for adults 18 years and older. The shots are now available at both First Choice Healthcare Clinics in Kewanee and Colona.
Flu shots will be available by appointment or on a “walk-in” basis Monday-Friday 8am-4pm at both locations. Residents are asked to bring their Medicare or insurance card, cash or check at the time of the vaccination.
This year, the health dept. will be administering the 4-component quadrivalent seasonal flu shot at all our upcoming drive-thru flu clinics and through our First Choice Healthcare locations in Kewanee and Colona. The dates and times for the drive-thru clinics will be announced at a later date.
“We believe this vaccine is going to give our area residents the most comprehensive protection from the influenza this year,” according to a press release from the HSCHD.
More information about the flu shots can be obtained by contacting the First Choice Healthcare locations in Kewanee at (309) 852-5272 or Colona at (309) 792-4011.
