DESCHUTES RIM CLINIC EVENTS:

SOUTH WASCO COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEES: WE WILL BE HOSTNG A FLU CLINIC FOR EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIES ONLY ON WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 22, 2-4PM AT  THE SCHOOL.


FLU VACCINES: Available from about early September (depending upon shipment) through May of following year

FLU CLINICS: available in the fall, stay tuned to website for dates and times

We still have Flu MIST for those who are healthy and qualify by age.

For children with OHP or NO INSURANCE through the age of 18, WE HAVE VACCINES for you!


WE JUST LEARNED SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION: THE VACCINE YOU GOT LAST YEAR CONTINUES TO BE SOMEWHAT PROTECTIVE FOR 2-3 YEARS, BUT ONLY FOR THOSE SPECIFIC STRAINS.  

THE VIRUS MUTATES SO FAST THAT A NEW VACCINE MUST BE DEVELOPED EVERY YEAR TO COVER WHAT LAST YEARS VACCINE WILL NOT COVER.  

THOSE WHO DO NOT GET VACCINATED RUN THE RISK OF PASSING THE VIRUS TO THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR ELDERS WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIGHT IT OFF AND  CAN BECOME SICK ENOUGH TO NEED HOSPITALIZATION, OR EVEN DIE.  THE MORE PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO BE VACCINATED IS WHAT ALLOWS THESE "CONTROLLED" DISEASES TO REAPPEAR!
