Stay Healthy This Fall with Southeast Community Health Systems

Fall means cooler weather, family gatherings, and flu season. Vaccines are one of the best ways to protect yourself and your loved ones. Here’s what you should know:

Why Vaccination Matters

  • Only 54.8% of Louisiana residents are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, below the national average.
  • Flu vaccination rates are also low. In one rural Southeastern Louisiana survey, just 40.4% reported getting a flu shot.
  • Low vaccination rates mean higher risk for illness in our communities.

What SHCHC Offers

  • Flu shots available for all patients.
  • COVID-19 vaccines available through our trusted providers, who will prescribe the vaccine.
  • Vaccines may be covered by your insurance or offered at a discounted rate through our sliding fee scale.
  • Safe, convenient, and provided at our local clinics.
