OLBH to offer flu clinic for children

RUSSELL, Ky. — Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital (OLBH) and Tri-State Pediatrics will conduct its seventh annual children’s flu clinic Saturday, Oct. 5 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the lobby of Bellefonte Centre 1000 Ashland Drive on the campus of OLBH.

The only area flu clinic geared toward children, the event allows caregivers to have their children vaccinated in a “well” environment as opposed to a doctor’s office where other children may be sick. In addition to the traditional vaccine, the clinic will offer Flumist, a nasal spray vaccine that is easier to administer to some children.

Flu vaccine is recommended for children ages 6 months to 18 years regardless of whether a child has other chronic conditions.

The cost of the vaccination is $20 for the traditional vaccine and $25 for Flumist.
