Area Coronavirus Cases/Deaths
It’s more important than ever to get a flu shot this year considering the concurrent risk of COVID-19 and its potential effects on the healthcare system during the traditional cold/flu season, according to the Fayette County Office of Emergency Management.
The Texas Department of State Health Services and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are recommending the flu vaccine for everyone 6 months old and older (for more, go to www. dshs.texas.gov/flu/).
In Fayette County, the flu vaccine is available at most doctors’ offices and all pharmacies. Doctors or pharmacists may recommend a high-potency vaccine for those over 65. Call your provider first to see if the type of vaccine you need is available. If needed, most of the providers will be glad to come out to your car to give you your flu shot. Call ahead to verify. Children 7 and under may require a doctor’s recommendation.
Pharmacies that are currently administering the flu vaccine: Apothecary, which also has COVID-19 testing available Monday through Friday, in Schulenburg; HEB, Walmart, and Pharmhouse Drug in La Grange; Main Street Pharmacy in Flatonia.
