The Health Department is offering no-cost flu and Tdap vaccines this month for kids 18 and under at vaccine clinics in Eau Claire and Augusta.
“We’re glad to offer an opportunity for kids in our community to get their flu shot and get up to date with the Tdap vaccine.”
-Kristy Polden, public health nurse at the Health Department.

It’s OK to have questions about childhood vaccines – if you need more information about a vaccine, talk to your child’s doctor.
