INDIANAPOLIS — While COVID-19 has been taking over headlines for months now, local health leaders are reminding Hoosiers not to forget about protecting themselves from the flu.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and Marion County Public Health Department Director Dr. Virginia Caine led by example Monday morning as they got their flu shots. It's part of the "Sleeve Up Indy" campaign to help boost flu vaccination rates.
It's step 3 of a three-part plan to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and the flu in the same season:
- Mask Up
- Lather Up
- Sleeve Up
The Marion County Public Health Department is hosting flu shot clinics throughout October. Some require appointments, while walk-ins will be welcome at others. For more information about the clinics, go to marionhealth.org/immunize.
