Rambo Has Flu Shots Available

ZANESVILLE, Ohio- The flu shot has arrived in Muskingum County.

Rambo Memorial Health Center is now offering the flu shot for $5 for Muskingum County residents and $20 for non residents.

“They came early this year,” Executive Director, Gloria Brown said. “CDC says when they come to take advantage of it. They are already in the refrigerator and ready to go.”

“It either prevents the flu or if you do get the flu you get a milder case,” Staff Nurse, Joyce Bates said. “And that’s especially important for our infants. Our older people and anybody who has a compromised immune system.”

Brown encouraged everyone to get a flu shot including women who are pregnant. She said you can stop by Rambo to get your shot throughout the week.

“Monday thru Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p,m, starting on the fourth Thursday in September until the first Thursday in November. We’ll be open until 6 p.m.”

Rambo Memorial Health Center is located at 711 Main Street in downtown Zanesville.
