Hey everyone,
Tonight, 10/5, Polk County Health Department will be in the Archive Room for flu shots from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. People wishing to get a flu shot will need to register through Polk County. The reservations can be made in advance, but they can also be made tonight, while Polk County is here. The general web address is immunizepolk.com and then people can navigate to our specific JPL clinic. I have also shortened the URL to our specific clinic link: bit.ly/3BSOAGd
Tonight I will have tables out in front of the Archive room with some of our laptops and tablets for patrons to use to sign up. Patrons can also use their phones to register. I will put some of the handouts with a QR code to the JPL clinic link and the shortened URL at each public service desk.
Here’s the full event description that details insurance info:
Flu season is coming–are you ready? Come to JPL Wednesday, October 5 from 5:00pm to 7:30pm to get flu shots for the whole family. Most major insurance cards are accepted and flu shots for uninsured individuals are available for a suggested donation of $25.00, but no one will be turned away because of inability to pay. Pre-register with Polk County at bit.ly/3BSOAGd to skip the registration paperwork and be in and out of JPL quickly. The Quadravalent flu vaccine will be available in injection form only. A higher dosage flu shot for individuals 65 and older will also be available. Due to a cost increase in this high dose vaccine for individuals 65+, the Polk County Health Dept asks for a donation of $65 for the higher dose vaccine, but also will never turn anyone away.
Ask Beth if you have any questions. Thanks!
