The Henry and Stark County Health Departments, in collaboration with First Choice Healthcare, are now offering RSV vaccination shots at no cost for adults aged 60 and above who lack insurance coverage. This initiative, available at their clinics in Kewanee and Colona, aims to protect this vulnerable age group from Respiratory Syncytial Virus, a common respiratory virus that can severely affect older adults. Eligible individuals can book their vaccination by contacting the First Choice Healthcare Clinics. This program is part of the “317 Bridge Access Program” backed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, ensuring that financial constraints do not prevent seniors from receiving this crucial vaccine. For more details or to schedule an appointment, residents can visit the official Henry and Stark County Health Departments website or contact their local clinic directly.
For more information, call the First Choice Healthcare Clinics in Kewanee at 309-852-5272; Colona at 309-792-4011; and Toulon at 309-852-3115, or visit our website at www.henrystarkhealth.com; find them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram at Henry and Stark County Health Departments.
