No one likes to get sick! Get your free flu shot at our FREE shot clinic. The flu is a highly contagious disease that is easily spread among families, friends, and coworkers. It spreads through droplets from
coughing, sneezing, and talking!
The City of Chicago's Department of Health hosts free flu clinics at various public offices at the start of flu season to help keep residents from getting it. Our office will be sponsoring a clinic
October 13th from 11 am to 3 pm. Shots are free and available to children and adults.
Aside from the flu shot, here are a few other things you can do to prevent the spreading it:
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
- While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
- If you are sick with flu-like illness, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu.
- And get vaccinated!
See you on October 13th between 11 am to 3 pm for your FREE flu shot at our Clybourn office.
