We
have run out of seasonal flu vaccine for adults, and have a very
limited amount of seasonal flu vaccine for children. Check back
for a seasonal flu vaccine
supply update. [Map]
H1N1 (Swine flu) supply is limited.
Flu vaccine clinic hours M-F 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. The clinic
is very busy, so please be patient and plan to spend some time
waiting. Thank you!
Continue to check this website or call 360-419-3313 before coming
to the Health Department. The situation changes quickly and may
have changed by the time you get here. Please be patient. More
vaccine will come and eventually
we will have enough for everyone.
New** H1N1 Flu Clinics New**
In
addition to our walk-in clinic at the Health Department, we plan
to hold H1N1 vaccination clinics at local Senior Centers, depending
upon the supply of vaccine. We will still follow Center
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines as to who
receives the vaccine.

Bat activity naturally increases in the summer
and fall. Approximately 5-10% of bats in our area carry the
rabies virus, which is almost always fatal.
If you find a bat in your house, or you have been directly exposed
(e.g. handling), or your pet has found a bat, please take the
following steps:
- Wear
thick gloves and capture the bat, if possible
- Put the
bat in a plastic zip lock and place in freezer
- Call
the Health Department during regular business hours (M-F 8:30
a.m. until 4:30 p.m.)
- If you
are unable to capture the bat, call the Health Department
for more information.
