Making it stick...during Naval Hospital Bremerton's annual influenza vaccination clinic, 3,826 shots were administered to uniformed service members, eligible beneficiaries and DoD civilians November 1-6, 2018, an increase of 622 from the previous year. That effort - on both sides of the influenza vaccine - has helped protect entire communities by preventing and reducing the spread of the disease. Yet since December 2018, there have been a number of confirmed influenza cases at NHB, all with a common denominator; not having the influenza immunization. For those who have not received an influenza vaccination, NHB’s Immunization Clinic – which has provided 2,000 additional influenza vaccinations from November 6, 2018 to January 10, 2019, is open for those in need from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Branch Health Clinic (BHC) Bangor is 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., BHC Everett is 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and BHC Puget Sound Naval Shipyard is 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., all Monday through Friday. For those already inoculated with the annual immunization, they do not need to receive it again – only children who have never received a flu vaccine require a two-shot series the first year they get vaccinated (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, Naval Hospital Bremerton Public Affairs).
