SCHD reschedules drive-thru flu clinic
The Stephens County Health Department has rescheduled its drive-thru flu clinic, originally scheduled for today, due to inclement weather.
The drive-thru flu clinic will now be held on Thursday, November 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Stephens County Health Department.
The Health Department is located at 64 Boulevard, Suite 102, in Toccoa.
This year, the quadrivalent vaccine (four-in-one) will serve as the regular flu vaccine and will protect against four different strains of flu, both A and B strains of the influenza viruses.
The high-dose vaccine, which is also a quadrivalent vaccine, will be available for people 65 and older.
The flu vaccines are free to anyone who has Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurances.
If you are self-pay, the flu shot is $30.
Again, the drive-thru flu clinic has been rescheduled for November 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Stephens County Health Department.
