As flu season approaches, the Saint Louis County Department of Public Health (DPH) is encouraging residents to get vaccinated this fall.

Immunizations remain the most effective way to reduce the spread of viruses, protecting individuals, families, and the entire community from severe illness and hospitalization.

“Getting your flu vaccine is a simple step that can protect you and your loved ones from serious

Illness,” said County Executive Dr. Sam Page. “Let’s work together to safeguard our entire community and help prevent the spread of the flu.”

Saint Louis County residents can receive influenza vaccines at all three health centers Monday- Friday, 8:30–10:30 a.m. and 1-3 p.m.
