Wake Up Tri-Counties Samantha Rux Talks Vaccines from OSF HealthCare

Samantha Rux from OSF HealthCare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about flu vaccines and future flu clinics. As fall draws near, health officials are reminding the public that timely vaccinations are key to preventing illness. Families should arrange vaccine appointments for their children, as school-based flu clinics in Kewanee will not be held this year. Adults are also encouraged to keep current with vaccines such as the flu, COVID-19, RSV, and others like hepatitis B and shingles. These shots offer vital protection, especially for older adults, pregnant women, and those with underlying health issues. Talk to your provider about updating immunizations to keep yourself and your community healthy.
