Over the month of September, the Wellness Program stopped by many departments to provide the flu shot to those county employees who wished to receive it.

More than 400 county employees received their flu vaccine.

 

The Hidalgo County Precinct 2 TechBus also doubled as a mobile station at some locations to administer the shots.

The Wellness Program will be making its last stops next week at Drainage District No. 1 and the Sheriff's Office. If you work in those departments and wish to get the flu shot, please contact your supervisor.
