Seasonal Flu Vaccine Coming Soon

Hi everyone,
We wanted to pass on some information to you about the flu especially since you are in contact with large groups of people. Please share this information with those who would benefit from the information. We sent the same information to the schools, clinic and the chamber.

Delta Public Health Center is expecting the seasonal flu vaccine sometime in the next couple of weeks, and the H1N1 vaccine sometime in October. People may call our office to check the vaccine availability or if they have other questions about the flu too. We will announce on the radio and newspaper when we get the vaccine and if we plan to have walk-in clinics…depending on the amount of vaccine we receive at a time.

We are encouraging people to follow the recommendations in the Home Care Guide, see attached, and we would be happy to speak with any groups about the flu and how to stop the spread of illness. It would also be a good idea to have a “buddy system” in your organization or church to check in with each other if they become ill.

Thank you very much in helping us get the message out there about the flu and preventing its spread.
