Fall is in the air, the leaves are changing, and spooky season is here. But one thing you don’t want creeping up on you this October is the flu—or any other preventable illness. That’s why Sunshine Community Health Center is making it easier (and more fun!) than ever to stay protected with free flu shots, spooky swag, and special event days throughout the month.
Why Immunizations Matter
Every year, millions of people catch the flu. For many, it means a week or two of fever, body aches, cough, and exhaustion. But for others—especially young children, older adults, and people with chronic health conditions—the flu can lead to serious complications like pneumonia, hospitalization, and even death.
And it’s not just the flu we need to look out for. COVID-19 is still circulating in our communities. Staying up to date on your vaccines helps protect not only yourself but also the people around you—friends, family, and neighbors who may be more vulnerable. Immunizations are one of the safest and most effective ways to keep communities strong, healthy, and safe.
October Health Incentive
To encourage our community to stay on top of their immunizations, Sunshine CHC is offering some fun seasonal incentives:
💉 FREE flu shots all month long
👕 A limited-edition Sunshine t-shirt for everyone who gets their immunizations in October
☕ A Spooky Season tumbler to take home while supplies last
Special Event Days – With Snacks!
Sometimes a little treat goes a long way. That’s why we’re adding some extra fun to the month with special snack days:
📍 Talkeetna Clinic – October 20
📍 Willow Clinic – October 24
Come in for your immunization on those days and enjoy free snacks while you’re here.
One More Opportunity: Talkeetna Health Fair
If October is slipping by too fast, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Sunshine CHC will be at the Talkeetna Community Health Fair on November 1 from 8 AM to 12 PM at the Upper Susitna Community & Senior Center. You’ll still be able to get your immunizations, pick up your swag, and take a big step toward protecting your health this winter.
Keep Your Community Safe
Getting vaccinated is more than just a personal choice—it’s a way to protect your loved ones and your community. Every shot helps prevent the spread of illnesses that can hit hard during the colder months. By staying on top of your immunizations, you’re helping reduce stress on healthcare systems, keeping schools and workplaces healthier, and keeping our community thriving.
