What is happening in the Village?

Have you gotten your Flu Shot, yet?

​Flu (influenza) is a potentially serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. Every flu season is different, and flu infection can affect people differently, but millions of people get the flu every year, hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized and thousands or tens of thousands of people die from flu-related causes every year. An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to help protect against flu. Vaccination has been shown to have many benefits including reducing the risk of flu illnesses, hospitalizations and even the risk of flu-related death in children.

There are several places locally to get a free or inexpensive flu shot to protect you and your family.   We created a list of times and places locally to get a free flu shot.  We also have three local businesses that will provide the flu shots at little or no cost if you have insurance or will charge the fee listed for a basic flu shot this year.

LOW COST or FREE if you have insurance
Locally you can go to Stone's Corner Pharmacy, Neighborhood Market Pharmacy, or Mercy Clinic and get free or low cost flu shots if you have insurance.   If you do not have insurance, these places can still give you a flu shot however the cost ranges from $35-57 dollars for a basic flu shot.

You can also go to the Jasper County Health Department in Carthage and get a flu shot.   They recommend you call ahead (417-358-3111) and make an appointment.   They anticipate getting another batch of FREE flu shots in the next few days, but they go fast and you must call ahead.
