Public-health staff announce rural health fair and flu-shot clinics across county

Public-health staff told commissioners they will run a Wise River health fair with participation expected from several nearby communities and that a Blue Cross Blue Shield caravan will provide flu shots at remote clinics across the county. Staff said they will run school bike-and-walk safety lessons for third- through eighth-graders and noted a county employee blood-draw wellness screening planned for Wednesday morning.

Staff asked county offices to help promote events, and they outlined that the caravan will visit multiple rural locations to improve vaccine access. The public-health representative also said flu-shot clinics will be coordinated with existing mobile-clinic efforts and that staff will circulate advertising and scheduling information.
