JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Central Valley Health District (CVHD) wants the public to know that large community flu shot clinics will be held in early October at the Jamestown Civic Center.

“Flu vaccine is beginning to arrive at our office,” states Robin Iszler, Unit Administrator. “We will have both high dose and regular dose flu shots available in October.”

CVHD will be providing flu vaccinations at Jamestown Public Schools, as well as the county schools located in Stutsman and Logan Counties. Business flu shot clinics will also be available for local businesses interested in having that service on-site.

“Central Valley typically provides approximately 3,000 flu vaccinations in the community each year,” reported Iszler. “We have already been receiving calls regarding the availability of flu vaccine and we are directing community members to get their flu shot at our large community events, rather than at our office due to limited space.”

This year, CVHD be using an online registration system to help eliminate wait time at vaccination clinics. Individuals will now be able to register for an appointment prior to arrival on the CVHD website. On-site registration will be available for those who do not have access to a computer or mobile device.

CVHD will also be offering COVID vaccinations at community flu shot events for individuals who are interested. “It is safe and effective to receive both the flu and COVID-19 vaccinations at the same time,” stated Iszler. “If residents come to our event interested in both we will provide them that service.”

Flu vaccinations will also be available at local pharmacies and clinics in Jamestown.

Clinic dates will soon be available on the CVHD Facebook page and website at www.centralvalleyhealth.org. For more information, please call CVHD at 252-8130.
