Flu Clinic expands hours to Saturdays
The Health Services Authority (HSA) is expanding the operating hours of its dedicated Flu Clinic to increase accessibility for those who have flu-like symptoms, so they are able to receive convenient and timely evaluation and treatment.
The Clinic will now operate on Saturday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm in addition to its regular week-day hours from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm. The clinic’s expansion to the weekend is among the many enhanced infection control strategies being implemented by the HSA to provide care for persons with flu like symptoms in a specialised environment from the general patient population and potentially reduce opportunities for influenza/COVID transmission.
The HSA continues to encourage persons with flu symptoms to first contact the 24-hour Flu Hotline at 1-800-534-8600, 345-947-3077 or flu@hsa.ky to speak to a health professional about their symptoms prior to visiting the clinic.
Flu symptoms may include:
- Fever
- Sore throat
- Cough
- Runny nose
- Muscle or body aches
- Chills
Please call the Flu Hotline or 911 if you experience worsening symptoms such as:
- Sudden dizziness and confusion;
- Severe or persistent vomiting;
- Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen; or,
- Difficulty breathing
Persons can access the Flu Clinic by parking in the Seventh Day Adventist Church Parking Lot with easy access to the clinic left of the Accident & Emergency (A&E) entrance. Signage on campus will direct patients to the clinic.
All persons are required to wear a facemask at all HSA locations.
