LFCHD to provide FREE flu shots Oct. 3 at Fayette Mall

We’ll be giving free flu shots 3-7 p.m. Oct. 3 at Fayette Mall (interior entrance of Dillard’s). The high-dose vaccine for ages 65 and older will be available in limited quantities. Learn more, including how to pre-register starting Sept. 23, at www.LFCHD.org/FluShots2024.

Lexington had 3,808 lab-confirmed flu cases and 10 flu-related deaths in the 2023-24 flu season. About 80% of the cases were in people who were not vaccinated.

“The annual flu shot remains the best way to fight flu to protect yourself, your family and everyone around you each fall and winter,” LFCHD spokesperson Kevin Hall said.

In addition to helping prevent you from getting sick with flu, a flu shot can reduce the severity of your illness if you do get flu and reduce your risk of a flu-associated hospitalization.

The seasonal flu shot is recommended for all people ages 6 months and older and is especially important for people at the highest risk of serious complications from the flu: infants and young children, pregnant women, anyone with underlying medical conditions and adults 50 and older.
