The Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency is encouraging all tri-county residents to protect themselves this winter by getting flu shots as soon as possible.
Steve Todd, Health Officer for the tri-county health department said the availability and affordability of the vaccine make it easier than ever for protection from the flu.
Todd said flu shots are encouraged for people aged six months and older.
Flu shots administered by the agency are $40 and can be issued locally at the agency’ Three Rivers site, 1110 Hill St. Its phone number is 273-2161.
