Free flu vaccines are available at the Haywood County Health Department while supplies last.

The flu vaccine is recommended for anyone over six months old and it is especially important for people at high risk of complications, including pregnant women, people with chronic diseases, very young children and the elderly.

The Health Department has approximately 2,000 doses of the vaccine.

Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins will be accepted from 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

828.452.6675 or 828.356.1111.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
