LICKING COUNTY, OHIO – The Licking County Health Department would like to remind county residents of the importance of receiving a flu vaccine.  The Centers for Disease Control recommends everyone over the age of 6 months should receive a flu vaccine this year. Receiving the vaccine is the best way to protect yourself against the flu.   

The cost of flu vaccine offered by the Health Department will be $20.00 for individuals paying at the time of service.  However, if you have Anthem, Medicare or Medicaid as your health insurance provider, the Health Department will bill these companies for the cost of the immunization.

The Health Department will offer the following adult flu clinics:

• Tuesday, October 25, Licking County Health Department, 675 Price Road Newark, from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM.
• Wednesday, October 26, Johnstown Youth for Christ Building, 276 South Main Street Johnstown, from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM.
• Friday, October 28, Licking County Health Department, 675 Price Road Newark, from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM.
• Tuesday, November 1, Licking County Health Department, 675 Price Road Newark, from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM.
• Wednesday, November 2, Mt. Carmel Church, 5133 Walnut Road Buckeye Lake, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM.

Children can receive their flu shots during the Health Department’s regularly scheduled immunization clinics.

For those with an inability to walk or make their way into a building easily, please call the Health Department, and our staff can provide you with your flu shot in your car. Coming at the end of a scheduled clinic usually allows for quicker service.  For those with an inability to leave their home, our department can contact your physician and make arrangements for you to receive your flu shot in your home.
