Hospital to offer tetnus shots
COAL TOWNSHIP - Shamokin Area Community Hospital will be offering tetnus booster shots from 2 to 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Occupational Medicine and Wellness Center. Due to recovery flood efforts, the Pennsylvania Department of Health is recommending individuals exposed to contaminated dirt, soil, metals and sewer water who suffered minor cuts, abrasions, burns or puncture wounds get a tetnus booster if they have not had a shot in five years. Shots will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis for individuals 18 years and older and will be free of charge.
