Welcome to Riverwoods!

Imagine waking up on a crisp autumn day in your secluded retreat in the forest. Imagine walking out to your country mailbox on the road, seeing the dappled sunlight streaming through brilliantly hued leaves, listening to the sound of acorns crunching beneath your feet and early morning birdsong, inhaling deeply of the fresh, woodsy-scented morning air.

Practice Healthy Habits This Flu Season

In addition to getting your seasonal flu shot, help prevent the spread of flu in the workplace, schools and throughout the community:

  • Wash your hands frequently
  • Stay home if you are sick
  • Cover your cough and sneeze

Lake County Health Department Offers Seasonal Flu Vaccine Clinics The seasonal flu vaccine will not offer protection from H1N1 pandemic influenza.

Any Lake County resident over the age of 6 months is eligible to get a seasonal flu shot through the Health Department. For a schedule of seasonal flu clinics, and other related information, contact the Health Department: 847-377-8470 or visit www.lakecountyflu.com.

It is important that persons 65 and over bring their Medicare part B cards to the clinics, which will cover the cost of the flu and pneumonia vaccines. Medicaid and All Kids will also be accepted. Fees are $35.00 for the flu vaccine and $52.00 for the pneumonia vaccine, based on the ability to pay.

H1N1 Update To address H1N1 flu, the Health Department is working collaboratively with community partners on H1N1 prevention in Lake County. The seasonal flu vaccine will not provide protection against the H1N1 flu. This year, more than ever before, the Health Department encourages people to do everything they can to protect themselves from influenza.

The target population groups for the H1N1 vaccine are:

  • 6 months to 24 years of age
  • Caretakers of children under 6 months of age
  • All pregnant women
  • Healthcare and emergency medical services employees
  • People 25 to 64 years of age with underlying medical conditions that put them at high risk for flu-related complications (such as asthma or diabetes).

People with flu-like symptoms should stay home until 24 hours after resolution of their fever. People are more contagious when they have a fever, so staying home during this time is especially important to not spread the flu.

Volunteer The Health Department is recruiting volunteers for its Lake County Medical Reserve Corps to help with H1N1 flu prevention. Call 847-377-8358 if you have time to volunteer. And for more information on the H1N1 call Health Department H1N1 hotline at 847-377-8350.
