The flu shot clinics are starting to show up around the area. The Village of Arlington Heights will have a clinic at the Senior Center on Monday, Sept. 27 and Tuesday, Sept. 28.  There are fees involved and you need to call  847-253-5532 to make an appointment.

 

Wheeling Township's Senior & Disabled Services Dept. also has flu shots through October & November.  For details, call (847) 259-7730.

 

Many other local organizations and pharmacies also have flu shot clinics.  For additional listings, check Northwest Community Healthcare's Flu Shot Hotline: 847-618-4FLU (4358).  Finally, the American Lung Association has a flu vaccine finder that you can search by zip code.  However, as of the date of this posting, it hasn't been made active for the 2011/12 flu season.  Keep checking back, though.

 

The Arlington Heights Memorial Library has a wealth of online health information about the flu and flu vaccine, including reference articles, pamphlets and magazine/jounal articles from the Health & Wellness Resource Center database.

 

Stay healthy!
