The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department plans to offer a flu vaccination clinic this week.

Everyone ages 6 months and older is encouraged to get annual flu shots to protect themselves and the people around them. Participants should bring health insurance information and cash, credit card or check to the vaccination clinic from 4 to 5:45 p.m. Tuesday in the auditorium of the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.

The health department also offers the shots on a walk-in basis at its 200 Maine St. clinic. Call 785-843-3060 or visit ldchealth.org for more information.

In Kansas, the first two deaths attributed to influenza this season were recorded on Oct. 15, the Associated Press reported.
