drive-through health

A recent flu shot clinic led to several hundred healthier residents. A total of 189 individuals received free flu shots in one day at the Florida Department of Health in Marion County’s drive-through flu shot clinic in February. The department held the drive-through clinic to help reduce the flu’s impact on area residents. The flu shot is a key part of preventing the flu along with practicing good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing. People who weren’t able to come to the drive-through clinic still have the opportunity to get a free flu shot at a close-by location. The department will o er other immunizations in addition to the flu shot (and other services as available) aboard the Mobile Health Unit bus.
