Flu Shots

As part of our commitment to your health and well-being, this October we are offering free flu shot clinics for all County employees and their covered spouse/domestic partner. By getting your flu shot, you’ll not only protect yourself and those around you, but you’ll also earn 2,000 Incentive Points in the 2024 Wellness Incentive Program! If you can't attend a MCWOW flu shot clinic, flu shots are now covered by the County health plan at your local pharmacy, and they are also available at walk-in clinics at Public Health. This year, we’ve made it even easier for you to participate. You can now self-attest to having received your flu shot, whether at one of our clinics or elsewhere. Once you receive the vaccination, simply complete the self-attestation form, and your points will be automatically credited. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to stay healthy and earn points! OK for County Time with the prior approval of your supervisor.
