It’s Not Too Late to Get a Flu Shot from Lorain County Public Health

It’s not too late to get your flu shot from your pharmacy, healthcare provider, or from Lorain County Public Health (LCPH). Flu shots protect people from the flu by reducing the risk of getting sick. An added benefit is that a flu shot reduces severe illness if you get sick with the flu. Schedule an appointment with LCPH online at LorainCountyHealth.com/vaccines, or call 440-284-3206.

“There’s still time to get protection from a flu shot. Now through March is peak flu season in Northeast Ohio,” explains LCPH Commissioner Mark Adams, MPH, REHS. “Flu activity in Lorain County has been high over the past few weeks. Getting the flu is most dangerous for older adults, children under two years and anyone with a chronic condition like asthma, diabetes or heart disease.”

LCPH can provide flu shots for infants six months through adults 64 years old, and high-dose flu shots for adults ages 65 and over.
