Posted: Wed, Nov 2, 2011 10:17 PM

Winneshiek Medical Center has been busy this fall administering flu shots.

Chief Nursing Officer Linda Klimesh says the hospital has already given 743 people their flu shots--and expects to give around 300 more.  Winneshiek Medical Center held four flu clinics in October.

Meanwhile, 86 percent of the hospital's staff has gotten a flu shot.  Hospital officials say the goal is to have over 95 percent of hospital workers get flu shots by the end of the year.
