The Montgomery County Health Dept has declared war on the flubug and they want to wipe out the enemy before it shows up.   Flu vaccine clinics return today with the Covid 19 vaccines available at all of the stops.  You can get both vaccines at the County Health Dept from 8:30 until 3:30 Thursday with a walk In clinic on Route 185 in Hillsboro.  Today, a clinic will be held at the Witt Lions Club from  5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.  On Wednesday, it’s off to Nokomis at The Park House from  9:00 am to 12:00 pm.  Then the department will pack up and head to Raymond for a clinic at the Lincolnwood High School parking lot from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.  On Thursday evening, the department will offer the vaccines at Hillsboro High School’s lower parking lot from  5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.  Then Saturday will bring a drive in matinee at the Skyview in Litchfield from 9am to noon.  The cost of the regular adult vaccine is $30. The cost of the high dose 65+ vaccine is $65. The Health Department accepts cash and checks, and is also able to bill insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, and Medicaid MCOs for the vaccination. 

MCHD would also like to invite any business that is interested in providing immunizations to its employees (minimum of 5) to contact its Hillsboro office to make arrangements for a nurse to come to the business and administer these shots.  More clinics are set through the end of the month.  We’ll keep you up to date on WSMI.
