The Kanawha County Commission, the Kanawha Regional Transit Authority and the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department are joining to offer free flu shots to Kanawha County residents. On Thursday, Feb. 22, a KRT bus will be parked at the transit mall in Charleston from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. KCHD will staff the bus and offer free flu shots to anyone interested. The Kanawha County Commission is paying for the cost of the flu vaccine.
According to Kanawha Commission President Kent Carper, “Project Last Shot is an opportunity for anyone who has not yet received a vaccination to get one for free. The commission realizes the current flu epidemic, which may not peak until May, is dangerous for the citizens of Kanawha County. It’s dangerous to their health, and it hurts the economy by having people miss work.”
