The Hays County Personal Health Department (PHD) is offering seasonal flu vaccinations at its regular health clinic locations in San Marcos and Kyle and during its monthly immunization clinic in Dripping Springs.
“Seasonal flu causes symptoms that mirror H1N1 flu symptoms, but the two viruses are different strains, so people need to get both immunizations to help prevent the threat of flu,” Priscilla Hargraves, director of the Hays County Personal Health Department, said.
The health department is offering seasonal flu vaccinations at its regular clinic locations in Kyle at 150 Lockhart Road and in San Marcos at 401-A Broadway on Mondays from 1 to 7 p.m. and Tuesdays from 1 to 5 p.m. while vaccine supplies last.
It will also offer the vaccine as long as supplies last during its monthly clinic in Dripping Springs, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month at the Precinct 4 Building, 195 Roger Hanks Pkwy.
The seasonal flu vaccination is $20 for adults and for children who do not qualify for the Texas Vaccine for Children program, and $10 for children who do qualify for the program.
However, no one is turned away due to inability to pay, officials said.
For more information, call 393-5520. The PHD has a separate clinic that offers only the free H1N1 flu vaccine at 705 W. Hopkins St. in San Marcos, 393-5580.
