Barton County Health Director Shelly Schneider knew that the department’s immunization outreach clinics were going well, she just didn’t know how well. Schneider says her staff has conducted 42 influenza outreaches which has included going to local and area businesses to provide flu shot to employees as well as clinics in the smaller towns in the county. She says after analyzing the data, those numbers are pretty impressive.

In the future, Schneider says she would like to expand the outreach programs to provide more services to those people who have health or transportation issues that keep them from getting the type of care they need.
