The flu vaccine is FREE to all residents. No appointments are necessary; however, persons should indicate to the registration officer at the clinic that they need to have the flu shot.“The flu vaccine remains as important during this flu season as is with the COVID -19 vaccine. The annual flu vaccine does not protect against COVID-19, similarly, the COVID -19 vaccine does not protect against seasonal influenza. The seasonal influenza vaccine will help to reduce transmission of the flu and protect the Islands from the double threat of flu and COVID-19,” Dr Williams-Rodriguez said. “All persons 6 months of age and older are encouraged to get the flu vaccine to protect themselves and others. It is especially important for people at high risk of having severe flu-related complications and people who live with or care for them.He added, “I acknowledge the receipt of requests for the seasonal flu vaccines from employers for their staff and the Public Health Department will continue our programme of the onsite workplace vaccination initiative for companies with twenty or more employees wishing to have the vaccine. This is to minimize workplace disruption and ensure that as many persons as possible get vaccinated.”Companies interested in the programme should contact the Public Health Department at 244-2621, 244- 2889, or email publichealthdept@hsa.ky to register.Flu shots will also be available at participating supermarkets across the Islands.For more information, please contact:
