With flu season ramping up across Indiana, Indiana Health Centers has launched a new campaign to raise awareness about flu vaccinations and make it easier for Hoosiers to get vaccinated close to home.

IHC clinics in more than 11 communities across Indiana offered flu shots in October. IHC's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Addison Haynes, received his flu shot on camera to demonstrate how quick and easy the process can be.

In addition to the public service announcement-style video, Dr. Haynes addressed common myths and misconceptions about flu vaccines in a series of Q&A videos that IHC will share with patients and staff.
