IDPH Announces Flu Shot and COVID Vaccination Guidelines

(Undated) — The Illinois Department of Public Health is issuing its own guidelines for flu and COVID-19 vaccines. They say the flu shot is recommended for anyone six months and older in the state. The IDPH is also recommending the COVID vaccine for adults ages 18 and older, as well as children between the ages of six and 23 months. That goes against guidance issued last week by the CDC, which declined to recommend the vaccine for anyone. The Crawford County Health Department held its first flu shot clinic yesterday. The CCHD is offering clinics for both adults and children. They say appointments are not required for adult shots. However, they are required for kids’ flu shots. You are asked to call 618-544-8798 to schedule appointments. Find the full schedule below.
