It is the season for flu and other respiratory illnesses, and time to get vaccines to keep us healthy. Joining us for “Coffee at KYUK” today are a couple of people with the Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC): Dr. Leslie Herrmann, Chief of YKHC’s pediatric service, and Brian Lefferts, director of public health. Speaking with them is KYUK’s Ryan Cotter.
This episode was recorded on 10/10/24. The vaccine drive-in clinic referred to in the episode took place on 10/12/24. YKHC has no plans for there to be another vaccine drive-in clinic on 11/1/24 or 11/2/24. Flu and COVID vaccines are available 1-3pm on Thursdays and Fridays in the gathering area at the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Regional Hospital in Bethel.
