“Yearly vaccines against flu and Covid are proven methods to reduce severe illness and complications from these potentially serious illnesses, and set you and your family up for the healthiest possible winter season,” said Teton District Health Officer Travis Riddell.
Flu shots will be available for those from six months to 64 years old, and high-dose flu vaccines are available for those 65 years of age and older, while supplies last. This year’s flu vaccine is preservative free and formulated to protect against three strains of flu.
