Clinics in the community make it easy to get a flu shot

Mike Haskins of East Troy gets a flu shot Oct. 7 from Fran Logan, a registered nurse with the Visiting Nurses Association. Haskins received his shot at a clinic set up at Frank’s County Market in East Troy. Dan Plutchak/WalworthCountyToday.com.

EAST TROY — JoAnn Wargin had stopped at Frank’s County Market for groceries two weeks ago when she noticed, just inside the entrance, a sign for flu shots being given there that day. So she headed over to the store’s dairy department, where a few tables, some volunteers in Shoo the Flu! T-shirts and registered nurses from the Aurora Visiting Nurses Association, needles ready, were waiting.

Wargin, who lives in East Troy, planned to get a flu shot this year, and decided she might as well get it at the store.

“It’s so convenient,” she said, rolling down the sleeve of her flowered top after getting vaccinated.

Dianne Ciesinski, also of East Troy, doesn’t have a doctor, and with a high deductible on her health insurance policy, $30 for a flu vaccination at the clinic here was appealing. This is the second year she’s gotten the shot.

Area supplies of the influenza vaccine seem sufficient, according to Walworth County Public Health Officer Pat Grove.
