NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk is hosting COVID-19 and flu clinics in preparation for flu season.
The Norfolk Department of Public Health is hosting the clinics at its office on Southampton Avenue on November 4 and 18. Both clinics begin at 10 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. Both vaccines are available to people three years old and up.
The Department of Public Health recommends making an appointment which can be made by calling (757) 683-2735. Limited walk-ins will be accepted.
The vaccinations will be billed to the individual's medical insurance, so bring insurance cards. If uninsured, the COVID-19 vaccine is fully covered by the Bridge Access Program. At the clinics, the flu vaccine fee will be waived for children and adults who are uninsured.
Those with children under three can make an appointment during business hours.
“Getting vaccinated is a simple and effective way to prevent yourself and your loved ones from serious illness due to these viruses,” said Dr. Susan Girois, MD, MPH, FACP, Health Director of Norfolk Department of Public Health.
The Norfolk Department of Health urges all residents to update their COVID-19 vaccination and receive their annual flu vaccination if they haven’t already done so.
