Deschutes County Health Department Recommends People Get a Flu Shot

Heahter Kaisner with the Deschutes County Health Department says you should.

 

"We've had several confirmed cases from Oregon State health lab that flu is here.  It's not widespread, but we do have a few cases.  This usually means this is the tip of the iceberg because many people don't go to the doctor and don't get tested.  So there are probably more cases we don't know about."

 

Flu vaccine is available thorugh local health care providers as well as most pharmacies for people 11 and older.  The health deparmtent is also offering vaccine for children 6 months to 18.
