Montgomery County health leaders are urging all residents to get their flu shot this fall.
While getting a flu shot does not protect against COVID-19, health professionals say flu shots have shown to reduce the risk of flu illness, hospitalization, and death.
Seasonal vaccinations are available through private health providers and retail locations throughout the community. The county also plans to hold clinics for adults and children in October and November.
