There will be free flu shots at these times/places in Alva and Enid:

Enid- 10/6 Cherokee Conference Center (downtown Enid) from 1:00-6:00 pm.  The flu clinic in Enid will be Tuesday, Oct. 6.  At this time, it is scheduled from 1:00-7:00 but that is subject to change depending on how much vaccine we get.  It will be at the Cherokee Conference Center.  This will be the 1^st flu clinic and will be seasonal flu.  High risk people will be first to get it, then we will go from there. 

Alva- 10/13  Woods County Health Dept. will be giving flu shots to the general public from 8:30 am – 6:00 pm. at the fairgrounds women’s building.

After Oct. 13 WCHD will continue to give flu shots at the health dept.  Monday, Tues., Weds. from 8:00-11:00 and 1:00-4:00 until the vaccine is gone.

The advantage of getting the shot at the fairgrounds is process time.  There will be numerous nurses and nursing students present to administer the shots.  When receiving the shots at the health dept. office, time may be a factor as we will also be continuing other clinics as usual throughout the day and we will have 2 nurses.

This vaccine is for the seasonal flu only.  We have no H1N1 vaccine at this time.  There is no charge for the flu shots.  However, WCHD asks that anyone with Medicaid or Medicare health insurance please bring their insurance cards with them.
