Flu season occurs every year, and vaccination is a safe and effective way to reduce the risk of serious illness for yourself and those around you.
The flu can be especially dangerous for older adults, young children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems or chronic health conditions.
If you are interested in getting a flu vaccine or have questions about availability, cost, or insurance coverage, please call Jefferson County Public Health at 541-475-4456 for the most current information.
You can also help prevent the spread of illness by:
-
Washing your hands often with soap and water or using hand sanitizer
-
Covering coughs and sneezes
-
Staying home when you’re sick
-
Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
-
Keeping frequently touched surfaces clean and disinfected
Higher vaccination rates can help reduce the spread of flu and protect those who are more vulnerable to serious illness.
