Marshall-Harrison County Health District is set to host its fifth annual “Say Boo to the Flu” event Monday, October 20, 2025. The event will be held from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. at 805 Lindsey Drive and will feature free flu vaccines for children ages six months to eighteen years old who qualify through the Texas Vaccines for Children (TVFC) Program.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone ages six months and older take a flu vaccine each year. According to Jennifer Hancock, Executive Director, Marshall-Harrison County Health District has flu vaccines for children in stock and available now. “We have the flu vaccine in stock through Texas Vaccines for Children program and are able to give the flu vaccine during our normal clinic hours,” states Hancock. “This year, Say Boo to the Flu is an all-day event. We create a fun environment to help ease the fear children may have about getting vaccines.” 

Children in attendance will receive a goodie bag. For more information about recommended vaccines for both adults and children, please contact your provider’s office, visit mhchd.org, or call the Marshall-Harrison County Health District at (903) 938-8338.
