A message from our Chief Medical Officer
Jane Pauley Community Health Center wants to make it easy for you to keep yourself and your family healthy from seasonal viruses that spike in the fall and winter. To be up to date you need to get these vaccines as they come out. We currently have Flu vaccines at all locations, and have RSV and COVID-19 vaccines available at select JPCHC locations. Please call us or your JPCHC Practice Location for details and to schedule a vaccine appointment.
Most everyone over 6 months of age is able to receive the Flu vaccine, and we encourage all to do so. The RSV vaccine is recommended for pregnant women to protect their newborns, and for those over 60 years of age, to protect themselves from severe illness. Flu cases surge every winter and those with chronic disease or other underlying conditions should protect themselves as much as possible with a yearly flu vaccine.
