If you have not rolled up your sleeve yet to get vaccinated against the flu, you are not alone. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, state data shows that over 309,000 Wisconsinites received their flu vaccine so far in October, less than half of the 858,377 that were vaccinated at this time last year. Overall, approximately 739,500 Wisconsinites have received at least one dose of the influenza vaccine. It is part of an ongoing trend in the state since the pandemic when more than one million Wisconsinites received their flu shot. The news comes a year after  more than 6,900 people were hospitalized with influenza during the flu season, including 4,200-plus individuals 65 years and older. Public Health Nurse Holly Neri said last month that vaccinating against the flu is important to protect yourself and others. If you and your doctor believe that vaccinating against the flu is right for you, there is no shortage of upcoming opportunities. In addition to some local pharmacies, Door County Public Health is offering flu clinics on October 27th and 28th, November 6th and 18th, and December 9th at their office on Nebraska Street. Door County Medical Center has a flu vaccine only clinic scheduled for today (October 24th) until 5 p.m. at its children’s center and a flu and COVID vaccine clinic in Sister Bay on October 30th from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. The flu vaccine will be a part of Kewaunee County Public Health’s free children’s immunization clinic on October 27th from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. In all of those cases, you can contact their office for further details and to book a time.
