A county-wide alliance is forming to develop pre-pandemic strategies for immunizing county residents. The group will also establish efficient and equitable distribution for a pandemic vaccine, and will contain the disease. Eleven pharmacies and health care providers in the county are taking part, including Washington County Public Health.

In Fiscal Year 2014, Washington County Public Health distributed 3,500 total immunizations, not only flu.
