2008 FLU IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULE RELEASED FROM HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Posted September 22, 2008 — It’s time to stomp out the flu bug! The Mansfield/Ontario/Richland County Health Department wants you to know you can protect yourself and your family by getting a flu vaccine. The 2008 Flu Immunization Schedule is now available.
There are 12 sites scheduled for flu immunization clinics with the first site at the Richland County Fairgrounds on October 17 from 1 to 6 p.m. The schedule is available on the Flu Hotline at 419-774-4553 and is online at www.richlandhealth.org.
Flu vaccine is available for adults 18 years and older and children from ages 6 months old up to 18 years old. Children less than 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian or another adult with written permission from the parent or guardian. Flu vaccines for children 6 months old up to 18 years old is also available through the regular neighborhood immunization clinics. Call 419-774-8115 for dates, locations and times.

“Every year in the United States there are more than 200,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths from complications of influenza,” Amy Vincent, Director of Nursing at the Mansfield/Ontario/Richland County Health Department, said. These events could be prevented with a simple flu vaccine. We are hoping more families will choose to get immunized. Flu vaccines are not just for seniors anymore.”
“Even if you don’t fall into a high risk category for complications from the flu, you should get a flu shot,” Vincent added. “Nobody likes to be sick. Getting the flu will cause you to miss work or school along with your favorite activities. You might also pass the flu on to your family, friends or co-workers. Protect yourself. Protect others. Get vaccinated.”
Changes in times and dates for flu clinics may be necessary. Any changes will be listed on the Health Department website and the Flu Hotline (419-774-4553). The flu immunization program is partially funded by levy dollars.
