COVID & Flu Vaccine Clinics
Thursdays, October 30th & Nov 6th, in the Great Room
Community members are encouraged to mark your calendars for two upcoming vaccine clinics offering the COVID-19 and flu shots. The Flu Vaccine will be available on Thursday, October 30th. The Covid Vaccine will be available on Thursday November 6th.
These events are designed to help protect our community as we enter the colder months, when flu and COVID-19 cases typically increase. Vaccinations remain one of the best ways to stay healthy, reduce the spread of illness, and protect those most vulnerable.
