The Long Beach Island Health Department is anticipating an active influenza season this fall. To help protect against the flu, stop by the department’s walk-in vaccination clinic scheduled for 1-3 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 27, at St. Francis parish hall.

“During the past couple years, the U.S. recorded the lowest influenza activity since 1997, when widespread surveillance began,” said LBIHD Health Officer Daniel J. Krupinski.
