Eagle County encourages community members to get flu shots

As flu season approaches, everyone aged six months and older is encouraged to get the flu vaccine to protect themselves and the community from the flu.

Influenza cases typically increase in Eagle County with the influx in visitors beginning in November. It takes about two weeks for the flu shot to provide full protection. 

Eagle County Public Health & Environment is currently offering the flu vaccine. Walk-in flu clinics will be held during the following times:
