Health Department Director Brenda Scobee said two clinics will be held for residents this month.
“On Oct. 17 and 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., you don’t need a reservation. You can just come and walk in. We can check in here,” she said. “There are a variety of options, but we highly recommend COVID-19 and influenza.”
The vaccine is covered by most insurance plans, but it costs $12 for those without insurance.
Scobee said it is effective and safe to give both vaccines at the same time.
“We clearly say, while you’re there, get both. We can separate them. But right now we’re in the middle of the flu and COVID,” she said. spoke. “As we continue to see more and more coronavirus cases, we’re simply telling people to do both.”
The department also plans to hold vaccine clinics at Wasatch School District schools throughout this month.
Nursing Coordinator Gina Tuttle said parents can register their children for the flu vaccination clinic if they are not already registered for the flu shot.
“We have a QR code that has been emailed to parents, we have posters all over the school, we have put up sandwich boards. All you have to do is scan the QR code and you can sign up for your child’s vaccination. ”
