HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- With flu season just around the corner, nurses at the Cabell Huntington Health Department were getting an early start on prevention Friday during a clinic for senior citizens.

Flu shots are especially important for people in higher risk groups, including those over 65, those with chronic illnesses and anyone who comes in contact with anyone in a high-risk group. The health department plans another walk-in clinic planned from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 25 at Cabell Midland High School.

I think this is a great idea :-) I got my flu shot because I'm in contact with elderly people all day long. I wish everyone happiness and wellness always.
