CHS Family Update

FREE Flu shots next week. It’s a particularly bad flu season this year and the flu vaccine isn’t perfect but it’ll minimize the symptoms. On January 13th & 14th, Nova Urgent Care, located at 4040 West 11th, is giving away free flu shots all day! Bring a friend, your family, a neighbor, anyone who has yet to receive their flu shot this season. This event is a perfect opportunity to get to know the providers and staff at the clinic and protect yourself during this particularly aggressive flu season. They are open from 8 AM to 8 PM and there won't be a cap on the number of flu shots we're giving away! Come by on your lunch break, after work or between errands and protect yourself and others by getting your flu shot. **The free flu shots are preservative-free, quadrivalent influenza shots and not 65+ flu shots.”
