Protect yourself and others from the flu

With cold and flu season approaching, the best way to protect yourself and others from severe flu and hospitalization is by getting an annual flu shot.

“I think it [an annual flu shot] is part of staying healthy, part of taking care of yourself, that’s why I do it,” said resident Barbara Olson. “I don’t want to take anything home to my family, nor do I want them to bring anything home to me … we each do our part!”

Bloomington Public Health will be hosting several community flu shot clinics this fall. Schedule your flu shot today at blm.mn/clinics for one of our community clinics. For help making an appointment, call 952-563-8900 and select the option for flu vaccinations

Updated COVID-19 shots will also be available. You may also check with your primary care provider or local pharmacy about flu shots.
