The Health Department and the hospital will administer flu shots and nasal mist immunizations as well as pneumonia and tetanus boosters including: FluMist nasal vaccine for healthy people ages 5 through 49 years of age, Flu shots for persons 50 years and older as well as any age with a high risk condition, Tetanus boosters for persons 7 years and older, Pneumonia shots for persons 65 years and older only.
“We highly encourage community members to get a flu shot every year,” says Lori Jagoda, Public Health Nurse for the Amador County Public Health Department. “It is the best way to prevent getting the flu during flu season.” Flu vaccines and tetanus will be available on a first come, first served basis for a $10 donation. Medicare billing for flu and pneumonia will be available as well. Also at the Health Festival will be a variety of free medical screenings and information including free blood glucose tests.
