At Ely-Bloomenson Community Hospital (EBCH), we take immense pride in our flu prevention efforts, which reflect our commitment to community health and wellness. Each year, we strive to make influenza vaccination as accessible as possible to everyone in the communities we serve. Through flu shot clinics and initiatives like Business Wellness Days, where our nurses provide on-site vaccinations to local businesses, we work tirelessly to ensure everyone has an opportunity to stay protected.
Growing Community Support for Flu Prevention
The response from our community has been overwhelmingly positive. Many residents express gratitude for the convenience and care we provide, particularly for those who might otherwise struggle to access flu shots—like busy workers, students, and individuals with limited mobility. Our annual flu shot events have become a highly anticipated service, and we’re proud to expand these efforts every year by adding new locations, dates, and times to better serve the community.
Why Flu Vaccination Matters More Than Ever
This flu season brings unique challenges, with respiratory viruses like influenza, COVID-19, and RSV circulating within our community. Protecting yourself and your loved ones through vaccination is especially critical now, as these illnesses can pose serious risks to vulnerable groups such as young children and older adults.
The Role of Ely Community Pharmacy in Flu Prevention
Our partner, Ely Community Pharmacy, plays a vital role in keeping the community healthy. Offering walk-in vaccinations Tuesday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM, the pharmacy ensures flexible access for those with busy schedules. Whether you call us at 218-365-8788 or simply walk in, our team is dedicated to accommodating your needs and making the process as seamless as possible.
Additional Preventive Measures for a Healthier Season
While vaccination is the cornerstone of flu prevention, other measures can help reduce the spread of illness:
- Practice good hand hygiene.
- Stay home if you’re feeling unwell.
