Tis' the Flu Season

Tis' the season. Flu season and all of the hype is upon us. With that said, those who are in contact with the public know how important it is to take the proper precautions.
Yesterday was the first of two days that Flu shots were offered to staff. This is not a mandated vaccination program, but an opportunity for us to offer resources to help staff ward off the dreaded Flu. Thanks to Jayne, Susan and Cindi for coordinating the effort.
DHEC will provide the vaccine to the public as well. On Monday December 4th from 1-4pm DHEC is giving flu shots at the Landrum Library. The cost is $25.
DHEC's website offers tips on how to stay healthy this flu season, http://www.scdhec.gov/flu/, and a copy of DHEC's complete vaccination schedule is located here: http://www.scdhec.gov/flu/clinics.pdf (You will need to scroll to page 4 for Spartanburg's schedule - note, the schedule is not complete.) For up to date information you may call DHEC at 864-596-3337.

I did not really want to get a flu shot, but this was so easy and convenient and only took about 3 minutes. Most of the people in my department took advantage of this opportunity. I probably would not have bothered to take the time to go to the doctor's office or somewhere else to get the shot. Thanks for making this easy for staff.
