Seasonal flu shots start Oct. 6

 Jenna Link, Warren County Health Department administrator, reported to the Warren County Board meeting on Sept. 16, that seasonal flu shots will be administered in the county starting Tuesday, Oct. 6. The reason for starting at this time is to be able to concentrate on the dispensing of the H1N1 vaccine. 

 Seasonal flu shots will be $25 and pneumonia shots $45, she said. The seasonal shots will be available at the following locations, times and dates:

 Tuesday, Oct. 6, 9-11:30 a.m. and  1-3 p.m. Strom Center, Monmouth
