Respiratory illnesses are on the rise. Sign up for a flu vaccine today.
The calendar has barely flipped into September and cases of flu and COVID-19 are already starting to climb in Colorado.
Estes Park Health asks that you please be considerate of your fellow neighbors and community members to help prevent the spread of respiratory conditions. If you are feeling ill, have a cough or have been in contact with someone who is COVID or flu positive in the last seven days or had a fever in the last two days, please wear a mask when at Estes Park Health and the Urgent Care Center.
When you come in for your appointment, please mention if any of these situations apply to you.
In addition, the registration team will also ask if you have been in any of these situations or are symptomatic. They can supply you and anyone accompanying you with a free mask to help prevent the spread of the germs.
If your visit to the hospital is for a routine, non-urgent appointment, consider calling your provider to see if your appointment can be rescheduled to a later date to protect the health of the patients and staff.
In preparation for the arrival of the flu season, Estes Park Health now has flu vaccines available. To schedule an appointment to receive a flu vaccine, contact the physician clinic at 970-586-2200.
Flu and COVID vaccine clinics will also be scheduled in September and October. Please stay tuned to the Estes Park Health website (eph.org) and Facebook page (EPH Facebook Page) for information about dates and the indications for who should receive the COVID booster.
For more information or have questions, please contact the UCHealth triage line at 719-444-2273.
