The Henry County Health Department, First Choice Healthcare, and Geneseo Public Library District are teaming up for a special Fall Health Check Clinic on Thursday, October 23rd, from 9:30 to 11:30 AM. Area residents aged 18 and older are invited to the Geneseo Public Library at 805 N. Chicago St. Participants with Medicare or insurance can receive free flu shots; insurance cards are required. Flu shots for cash payments cost $60. The clinic also offers complimentary blood pressure checks, vital signs assessments, and blood glucose screenings. Health information and free giveaways will be available for all attendees.
The Health Department is urging all individuals aged six months and older to receive a flu vaccination this season. Special emphasis is placed on those at higher risk for severe flu complications, including young children, pregnant women, seniors over 65, those with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or heart or lung disease, and smokers. Health care workers are also strongly encouraged to get vaccinated to help protect vulnerable populations.
