Hometown Urgent Care Gives Back to the Community: Offering Free Flu Shots to Columbus, Hilliard and Delaware Residents

Columbus, Ohio, November 10, 2016 (Newswire.com) - As part of their philosophy to give back to its communities, Hometown Urgent Care, Ohio’s largest urgent care system, is offering free flu shots at their Clintonville, Hilliard and Delaware locations on Saturday, November 12, 2016. Neither an appointment nor proof of insurance will be needed. 

The flu season extends from October through May, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the vaccine reduces the risk of the flu illness by 50-60%. For those still planning on getting the flu vaccine, November is a pivotal time to get vaccinated before the holidays and seasonal changes.
