Wood County Health Department continues to provide Tetanus Shots

Bowling Green, June 14, 2010: In an ongoing effort to assist with recovery operations, the Wood County Health Department will continue to provide free tetanus shots to volunteers helping with the clean-up. Volunteers can go the Millbury Fire Hall, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Tetanus is a serious disease that is caused by bacteria that can infect open wounds. Tetanus shots are normally recommended every 10 years. If someone gets a deep cut from dirty debris and it has been more than 5 years since their last tetanus shot, they should get a another one.

The Health Department is located at 1840 E. Gypsy Lane Rd. in Bowling Green. Normal office hours are 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, with late hours and satellite clinics are available. The Wood County Board of Health meetings are generally held on the second Thursday at 7:30 pm at the Wood County Health Department and are open to the public.
