Flu ‘Test and Treat’ now available at county Health Departments
Published 3:00 pm Wednesday, November 20, 2024
If you’re not feeling well, you can now get tested for both the flu and COVID at all County Health Departments in Mississippi.
Patients who test positive for the flu can also receive treatment with Tamiflu. December through February are historically the most high-risk months for respiratory viruses.
Anyone age 13 and older can make an appointment by calling 855-767-0170, but walk-ins are also welcomed. A patient who tests positive within 48 hours of onset of flu symptoms, can receive Tamiflu when clinically eligible.
Vaccinations for flu and COVID are available for ages 6 months to adults. RSV immunizations are available for infants.
