 Well flu season officially started this month and the Ascension Health offering is offering an easy way to get your vaccination. In just 10 minutes you can get your shot to help prevent the flu at any of the Ascension Health clinics across central Minnesota. People can either schedule an appointment ahead of time or you can walk into a clinic at any of the specified times without an appointment. I think as awareness around influenza rises people are more apt to get vaccinated. It really is the best way to protect yourself and your family. Pregnant women can get the vaccine at any time during their pregnancy and also we have an option for people that have a severe egg allergy. There is a vaccine available for those folks as well and we have the high dose for the older population. To find out when your local clinic is offering walking appointments for the flu vaccine you can check out our story on our website at lptv.org slash news.
