Beebe hosting free flu shot clinics all over Sussex County
As respiratory illness season begins in Delaware, Beebe Healthcare has organized 30 free flu vaccine clinics throughout Sussex County beginning Monday, Oct. 2, and ending Tuesday, Nov. 14.
Influenza vaccinations are recommended for everyone 6 months and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC also recommends that people should get vaccinated before flu activity begins in their community, and suggests September and October as good times to get a flu shot.
“Getting your influenza (flu) vaccine is one of the best ways to protect yourself, your family, and the community from the flu,” said Dr. Bill Chasanov, an infectious disease physician and chief health system design officer at Beebe Healthcare. “Beebe is proud to offer this opportunity to our community every year through our community outreach team and community mobile health clinic.”
Beebe’s community flu vaccine clinics are free of charge, and appointments are not required. Flu vaccines are available to adults aged 18 years and older. Times are subject to change. For the most up-to-date information on flu clinic locations, times and FAQs, visit Beebe’s flu information page at beebehealthcare.org/calendar/vaccines or call its flu hotline at 302-291-6FLU (6358).
Anyone interested in supporting this effort can direct donations to Beebe Medical Foundation’s Population Health Special Needs Fund to assist those most in need. To contact Beebe Medical Foundation, call 302-644-2900.
