As flu season gets underway, the Illinois Department of Public Health is giving tips on how to stay healthy during this time of the year. Dr. Ngozi Ezike, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, says the flu kills thousands of Americans every year. Most people don’t understand how serious the illness can be. She says the best prevention is to get a flu shot.
A free flu shot clinic is being offered Monday from 3-to-5 p.m. at Genesis FirstMed Pharmacy in downtown Aledo.
