October is Influenza Awareness Month, Hidalgo County's Health & Human Services Chief Administrative Officer Eddie Olivarez wants to encourage all employees and county residents to get their flu vaccine this year.

Every year the flu is a problem we have in our community, this is especially a concern to infants and senior citizens, as well as, those with diabetes or cardiovascular health problems.

We also encourage you to get the TDaP vaccine, which helps prevent Tetanus, Pertussis and Diphtheria. Hidalgo County is currently experiencing a Pertussis ("Whooping Cough") outbreak, so we encourage parents and grandparents to get their TDaP booster.

For more information on vaccine clinics, Hidalgo County residents can call the Health & Human Services Department at 383-6221.
