Press Release:
Fall is here and now is the time to prepare for flu season by getting an influenza vaccine. The Batavia VA Medical Center is holding walk-in flu clinics on Thursdays and Fridays, and on Thursday, October 10, is holding a drive-through clinic from 4 - 6:30 p.m.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccine every season with rare exceptions. Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at higher risk of serious complications from influenza.
