The Mobile County Health Department is now offering flu shots to the general public. The cost is $8 per shot.“Annual influenza immunization is recommended for most people to protect against outbreaks, which generally occur from November to March in our state,” Dr. Bernard Eichold, Health Officer, says. “We expect to have an adequate supply of flu vaccine for this season.”
The Immunizations Clinic at 251 N. Bayou St. is accepting walk-ins from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Anyone wanting to get a flu shot at another Health Department location must call 690-8889 to schedule an appointment.
The flu vaccine is designed for people 6 months of age or older. Because the viruses in the vaccine are inactive, people cannot get influenza by getting a flu shot. Immunity begins two weeks after immunization.
For more information, call the Immunization Clinic at 690-8821.
