Free drive-by flu shot clinics for 18 and older in October



Officials with the North Georgia Health District are encouraging adults to plan ahead to receive a flu shot this year. Free flu shots will be provided in October to ages 18 and older at drive-by flu shot clinics held by the public health departments in Murray and Whitfield counties.

A limited supply of influenza vaccine was purchased for the clinics with funds from a Public Health Enhancement Grant awarded to the health district.

• Whitfield: Oct. 14-15, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Northwest Georgia Trade and Convention Center, 2211 Dug Gap Battle Road, Dalton

• Murray: Oct. 15-16, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Murray Recreation Center, 651 Hyden Tyler Road, Chatsworth

“We feel fortunate to be able to offer these free flu vaccines this year,” said Harold Pitts, district health director. “We hope as many adults as possible will come to the Drive-by Flu Shot Clinics, including those who normally do not receive a flu shot for various reasons such as having no insurance or they are underinsured, or because they feel they do not have the time to get a flu shot.”

The clinics are designed to handle people quickly and conveniently as they remain in their vehicles.

For more information about the clinics or about influenza and its prevention, contact your county health department or log on to www.nghd.org.
