HURLEY — With its shipment of flu vaccines now delivered, the Iron County Health Department announced it is planning four flu vaccine clinics this month — including a pair of events in southern Iron County today. The department will hold a drive-thru clinic from 10 a.m. to noon today at the Springstead Fire Hall on Wisconsin 182 in the town of Sherman, followed by an indoor clinic at the Mercer Community Center from 1 to 3 p.m. The department has scheduled a pair of walk-in clinics at the health department building on Copper Street in Hurley from 2 to 4 p.m Friday, with a second walk-in event set for Nov. 24 from 10 a.m. to noon. The department was forced to cancel a number of flu shot clinics earlier this fall after delivery issues preventing the department from receiving an adequate number of vaccines. Health department officials are encouraging people to get their flu shots as the department works to prevent a flu outbreak from complicating the effort to stop the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
