FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) - The Floyd County Health Department and Johnson County Health Department recently worked together to provide free drive-thru flu shots at the weigh station in the East Point community of Floyd County.

“Floyd County, Johnson County, doesn’t matter where you live, we’ll just take turns and anybody that wants a flu shot can come to get it today,” said Bush.

Ellis and Bush added that you can call either health department to schedule an appointment for you flu shot or COVID-19 vaccine.
