Helpful Tips

In order for everyone to have a smooth flu experience we've provided some helpful tips for the Clinics:

  • Print out a flu shot consent form from the County's website, fill it out and bring it to the flu shot clinic.
  • If you cannot fill out your form ahead of time, bring a return address label with your full name to help speed up the paperwork process.
  • Have a driver's license or another form of identification ready upon entering a clinic. You will need to show proof of county residency.
  • Keep your belongings with you at all times, you will not wait long.
  • Wear clothes that will permit you to easily expose the top of your dominant arm like short sleeves, loose-fitting jackets, and tops.
  • Clinics will begin and end as scheduled.
