SEASONAL FLU VACCINE
Due to the wide availability and convenient public access to seasonal flu vaccine in Indian River County, the Health Department will no longer be holding public seasonal flu clinics or providing seasonal flu vaccine to the general public. However, seasonal flu vaccine will still be available to health department patients through our adult and pediatric clinics. Please check with your private physicians' office, the Visiting Nurse Association's public flu clinics, and local pharmacies for information on obtaining a seasonal flu shot.

For updates, check back on this site, call our H1N1 vaccine information line at 794-7400, ext. 2430, or watch for our press releases in the media.
