**UPDATED INFO** Flu Information from the McHenry County Health Department
Health Department suspends appointments for seasonal flu
Delivery delay postpones vaccination clinics
Protecting yourself from getting the flu (both seasonal and H1N1) is as easy as 1-2-3:
1. Clean – wash your hands several times a day with soap and water (especially after using high touch areas such as telephones, door knobs and keyboards)
2. Cover your cough – with your elbow, instead of sneezing into your hands; teach this to your children as well
3. Contain – stay home if you have flu-like symptoms to keep from spreading the virus

– McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) has temporarily suspended scheduling new appointments for adult seasonal flu shots until further notice due to delays from its vaccine supplier. Appointments will resume when additional vaccine is received, which is unknown at this time. Vaccine is available for appointments previously scheduled.
