A free vaccine clinic will be available at the 4-H fairgrounds on Oct. 12.
The clinic, hosted by the Wells County Council on Aging, will be available to everyone over the age of 18, regardless of residency or healthcare coverage. Available vaccines will include the flu, singles, and pneumonia. The clinic will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Susie Ehlerding, assistant director of the Council on Aging, said the group received a grant that made the opportunity possible. Ehlerding stated the event is largely aimed to fill gaps from the Wells County Health Department’s fair, which has not been hosted since COVID-19.
Because of the grant funding, the clinic will also offer a free boxed lunch from the Grand Sweet Shop for participants.
Those planning to attend are encouraged to pre-register by calling Ehlerding, 260-824-1070, but pre-registration is not required. Participants are also asked to bring their insurance card, if applicable.
