Starting next week, the Barton County Health Department will again be bringing flu shot vaccinations to the smaller communities in the county. On Tuesday, department staff will be in Galatia, Olmitz, Albert and Pawnee Rock offering vaccinations before heading to Susank, Beaver, Odin and Claflin on October 3rd. Health Director Shelly Schneider says it’s an effort to offer health care services to county residents who usually have to make the drive into the city to receive their vaccinations.

The outreach program has expanded this year. In addition to flu shots, residents will also be able to get needed blood work done.
