Flu season usually begins in October and can last through May.

Getting a flu vaccine is the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease.

“Bismarck Burleigh Public Health (BBPH) is prepared to kick-off prevention efforts to control the influenza virus,” said Vonnie Ereth, BBPH Wellness Supervisor. “We have both the injectable vaccine and nasal Flu Mist. Get vaccinated now before flu season starts. Protect yourself, Protect your family.”

Please remember to bring your insurance cards and ID forms to the walk-in flu vaccination clinics.
