Flu shots offered at Dayton Food Pantry
Flu shots for anyone over 6 months of age, and commodities food distribution for those in need from Dayton, Silver City and Stagecoach takes place at the Dayton Food Pantry at 4 Enterprise Way and Highway 50 in Dayton on Oct. 21, between noon and 5 p.m.
Health and Human Services recommends that everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine. On Oct. 21 only, between noon and 5pm, Carson Health nurses will be able to provide the following types of flu shots at the Dayton Food Pantry at 4 Enterprise Way:
The "flu shot" — an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. The flu shot is approved for use in people older than 6 months, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions.
The nasal-spray flu vaccine —a vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu, sometimes called FluMist®. FluMist® is approved for use in healthy people 2-49 years of age who are not pregnant.
For questions about the flu shots being offered, contact Carson City Health at (775) 283-7218. For information about the Dayton Food Pantry, call (775) 246-7834.
Meanwhile, two other services will also be offered on Oct. 21.
