Riverside Health is proud to announce it will host several free clinics throughout the region to further promote both the high dose (HD) and standard flu vaccination. These drive-thru and walk-up clinics will allow patients 9 and older to receive the flu vaccine.Patients who are sick with any of the following symptoms shouldn't attend a clinic:
-Fever (greater than 100.4)
-New onset cough
-Sore throat
-Chills
-New loss of taste or smell
-Diarrhea
-Nausea or vomiting
-Congestion or runny nose not related to allergies
Riverside is committed to caring for our community and encourages all residents who have not yet been vaccinated to visit one of our upcoming clinics. Getting vaccinated before flu activity increases is an important step in protecting yourself and others. The flu vaccine takes about two weeks to fully activate in your immune system, so early vaccination is key to staying healthy throughout flu season.
A drive-thru clinic will be held on Wednesday October 1 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Riverside Wellness and Fitness Center, 12650 Jefferson Ave., Newport News, VA 23602.
Together, we can help improve health outcomes across the region. For more information please contact Riverside Nurse at 757-595-6363 or 800-675-6368 or visit riversideonline.com/flu.
While supplies last and no appointment needed. We look forward to seeing you!
