Chatham County, GA: The Chatham County Health Department has seen a record demand for seasonal flu vaccine, providing more than 2,700 doses thus far to the community. As a result of a delay in shipment of expected doses ordered, the Health Department will temporarily be unable to provide seasonal flu vaccine as a walk-in service at its Eisenhower and Mid-Town facilities effective September 22nd. The Health Department does not have a firm date for expected arrival of the additional vaccine, but will communicate information through the media as soon as flu vaccine is again available.
It is still early in the year, and the Health Department anticipates the ability to offer the seasonal flu vaccine in time for individuals to develop immunity before the peak of the flu season.
