Getting the flu shot is more important this year than ever before.
With the ongoing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, we must use every tool available to protect ourselves, our families and our community.
The Berks County Commissioners have partnered with the Berks County Medical Society and local hospitals to help provide education and information about the flu vaccine this year. We can each do our part to help slow the spread of both COVID-19 and the flu by doing the following: Wearing masks, practicing social distancing, washing our hands and getting the flu shot.
