Health News and Updates

Exciting Updates at Jones County Public Health!

As we prepare for the colder months ahead, we’re thrilled to announce some exciting new offerings and reminders to help you and your family stay healthy and active this winter.

Introducing the Vaccine for Adults Program
We’re excited to expand our vaccination services! With our new Vaccine for Adults program, we can now provide immunizations for all age groups to those who are eligible. As winter approaches, it’s the perfect time to make sure you’re up to date on your vaccines, especially flu shots and other important immunizations. Protect yourself and your loved ones from seasonal illnesses and stay healthy all winter long.

Winter Activity Tips
Don’t let the cold weather keep you from staying active! It’s important to find ways to move, even when the temperatures drop. Here are a few tips:

• Try indoor exercises like yoga, dancing, or home workout videos.
• Bundle up and go for walks on milder days.
• Take advantage of local gyms—did you know your Medicaid benefits may help cover the cost of a gym membership?

Laundry Soap Drive – Coming Soon!
We’re also getting ready for another Laundry Soap Drive! Clean clothes are a necessity, and we want to make sure everyone has access to this essential resource. Keep an eye out for more details on how you can donate and help support those in need this winter.

Stay healthy, stay warm, and stay active this season!
